Linden Dance Company is an innovative professional dance company based in Birmingham, creating passionate and exciting new works.

Positivity. Individuality. Empowerment.

Dance Works

Linden Dance Company specialises in theatre tours, outdoor festivals and events. Our work is emotionally engaging, centered around current topics that resonate with society, and performed with blazing physicality in the movement styles of Contemporary and Afro-fusion dance. We collaborate with mentors from outside of the dance sector to diversify our work and integrate different art forms, such as spoken word, poetry and music.

Linden Youth is the community youth strand of Linden Dance Company. This weekly provision is formed by a group of dancers ages 11 – 22 years with a passion for movement and expression.

Linden Youth is open for any young person who wants to get involved in dance. This youth group trains on a weekly basis in Birmingham and engages in digital, platform and festival performance opportunities. Linden Youth proudly represented the West Midlands at U.Dance National Festival 2022 and Beyond Borders (Arts Connect and DanceXchange).

There are opportunities for young people to engage in open dance classes in Birmingham and, for those keen on pursuing dance, an opportunity to join the performance company Linden Youth. 

Education

Linden Dance Company offers a variety of outreach and education offers for schools (primary and secondary), colleges, universities and conservatoires throughout the UK. Dance workshops, residencies and commissions are available for all ages and abilities.
Our education work is always focussed around empowering the participants in a safe, positive environment that allows each one to achieve their full potential, using dance as an outlet.
