About

Dance with heart and soul. 

We are a professional dance company, producing vibrant, life-enhancing dance for more than 45 years. Our mission is to improve lives and bring joy through dance. 

We partner with theatres, churches, schools and libraries to bring meaningful, accessible, transformative dance to everyone.

We run a highly regarded education programme for people of all ages and abilities. In primary schools, we are the UK’s leading specialist in cross-curricular Dance and R.E. (Christianity).  

Our work is incredibly varied. We have made dance for and with:  Theatres, Schools, Libraries, Churches, Cathedrals, Abbeys, Prisons, Festivals, Singer Songwriters, Concerts, Conferences, Colleges, Universities and the BBC. We work in the UK and internationally.  

With our underlying mission to bring joy and to improve lives through dance, we make work that meets a need, whether to simply celebrate together, or to provide opportunities for reflection and refocus.  

Springs began in 1979 as a pioneer in developing and encouraging dance in the church, and our ethos is grounded in the Christian Faith. Our work has also now broadened to include addressing social issues and in supporting people from every background to thrive.  

"This is one not to miss. You will go home different. Amazing dance and thought provoking choreography... go if you can. You will be spiritually richer for doing so."

Jane Wheeler, audience member

"Powerful & electric. They pour their heart and soul into the performance and it reflects. Enjoyed this immensely."

Shoria Topping, audience Member

"The show was excellent… Springs Dance Company definitely delivered. The show was appropriate to the specified age in dance work and content, great characterisations and simply enthralled our young audience."
