We are delighted to see members of the dance community recognised for their important contributions in the King’s Birthday Honours List.

Lee Fisher MBE, Artistic Director of Freefall Dance Company for services to Dance and the Learning-Disabled community

Ian Parmel MBE, Co-founder, ACE Dance & Music for services to the Arts

Sonia Sabri MBE, Dance Artist for services to Dance

Whilst we celebrate this well deserved recognition, we also note with some regret that there are fewer names from our sector than we would have hoped for this year.  One Dance UK and the members of our Honours Advisory Group will continue to work hard to champion the amazing people doing important work in our sector and ensure there is a steady pipeline of nominations being submitted. Please do get in touch with us if there is a member of our community you would like to see recognised with a National Honour, and we will do our best to help.
