The list below is a comprehensive list of both Regional Dance Councils and National Dance Agencies around the country. Those listed first are National Dance Agencies which are larger than the smaller Dance Councils. All should be able to help you find out information on dance in your area. You should be able to find out information on dance performance events, different dance styles in your regional area, classes and maybe summer schools (see information Sheet 7 for information on Summer Schools).

Lists of teachers in each UK county, including Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are available online at CDET’s website on the UK Directory of Registered Dance Teachers and the UK Database of Dance Teachers. Teachers are listed alphabetically in each county with the dance disciplines that they teach.
