National Dance Company Wales take UK contemporary dance to China
Building on its growing reputation on the international stage NDCW made its debut tour to three cities in China in October. The flagship arts company toured South West China for 10 days, introducing new audiences to contemporary dance from the UK and building on opportunities for cultural exchange in the region.

The UK dance scene is full of exciting new work - whether dance drawing on the street scene, Asian Kathak dance fusions or sleek contemporary ballet, there is a vast range of styles to enjoy. So if you want to find out more about UK dance then you've come to the right place.

We work across all forms of dance - from contemporary dance and live art to more classical forms. We work with our overseas network of arts managers and partners to plan, resource, deliver and evaluate high-impact arts projects involving UK artists. Our aims are to promote new images of the UK, to establish long-term partnerships abroad and to attract young adult audiences.
