FABRIC SCHOOL PROGRAMME

Who Are We?

FABRIC is a professional dance organisation based in Birmingham and Nottingham, formed from the recent merger of DanceXchange and Dance4. With a combined experience of over 60 years, we have played a pivotal role in the growth and development of dance in the Midlands, connecting audiences with great dance, championing some of the UK’s best artistic talent, and nurturing young performers, choreographers and leaders. FABRIC’s vision is to inspire people through dance, transforming lives, communities and places.
