NEXUS is a 5 year programme kindly funded by The Westminster foundation, that supports children and young people in the Chester and surrounding area to engage with and benefit from dance.

NEXUS is brought to you by Cheshire Dance. Cheshire Dance creates opportunities for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to access dance and to use the art form to live healthier and happier lives. From delivering dance classes in the community, to providing professional development & training to emerging artists and hosting events and festivals, we seek to remove inequalities and co-create opportunity to experience the power of dance.

Founded as a charity in 1976, over the past five decades Cheshire Dance has enabled hundreds of thousands of individuals to engage with dance. We have enticed a wide variety of people from all walks of life to learn from, participate in and enjoy dance –and to benefit from the vast physical, emotional and mental health as well as social, creative and career-defining outcomes that can be gained from dance.

Cheshire Dance is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England, delivers Service Level Agreements with Local Authorities and other public and voluntary sectors and works extensively in partnership across the dance, arts, public, voluntary, health and education sectors in the UK.
