What is One Dance UK doing? 

Since the EU referendum in June 2016, One Dance UK has been working tirelessly on assessing the impact of Brexit on dance and our members, and omaking sure our sector is prepared for the changes related to leaving the EU. 

We are in touch regularly with ministers, parliamentarians and officials, joining meetings and roundtables in order to increase awareness and understanding of the unique challenges faced by the dance sector. We have also been working alongside partners and organisations representing the performing arts and creatives industries to align approaches on shared issues.

We created the Dance Sector Brexit Working Group as a dedicated task force to gather data and discuss issues around EU exit. One Dance UK has been conveying priorities and recommendations from this group to relevant government departments, as well as sharing government updates and regularly briefing group members on any developments.   

We have conducted member surveys, published reports, responded to consultations and provided evidence, case studies and information to DCMS, DfE and Arts Council England, and Select Committee enquiries.   

In January 2021, The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Dance, for which One Dance UK provides the secretariat, together with other performing arts APPGs, sent a letter to the Government detailing the significant impact on the sector resulting from the lack of provisions in the UK-EU TCA for the performing arts. The letter highlights the severe consequences of, and potential solutions to, issues relating to the movement of people and goods between the UK and the EU, as part of international activity and touring. Baroness Hooper, Co-Chair of the APPG for Dance, and Andrew Hurst, our Chief Executive, were among the signatories. You can find the full text of the letter here.

As the national sector support organisation for dance, our priority is representing youWe will keep working closely both with DCMS and all of you into 2021, to support you and find answers to your questions as we navigate the new context that we will all be operating in.
