ABOUT NEWINGTON DANCE SPACE

NDS is an artist-led organisation offering a range of opportunities for emerging and established artists and to our local community.

Located in multicultural Stoke Newington - one of London's most diverse districts and home to young families and professionals - the studio reflects this area's community spirit by providing a friendly environment where different groups can meet.

A warehouse conversion, Newington Dance Space holds a creative feel surrounded by other art studios just off Church Street - Stoke Newington's historical heart with a number of Grade II buildings, independent bookshops, second hand clothing stores and the first farmer's market in the UK to have only organic food.

The studio also benefits from being opposite Clissold Park, an extensive green space offering various recreational facilities and is within walking distance from many amenities such as lively bars and cafés, local bakeries and quality restaurants.

Newington Dance Space offers: 

Affordable Rehearsal Space for movement-based artists, students and theatre practitioners.

Regular Classes & Workshops for adults, children, young people and professional artists.

Performance Opportunities for adults and children in the end of each school term and a platform for practitioners to share work-in-progress each month.

Holiday Activities for children aged 5-12 years during school breaks.

Youth Dance Company for children and youth from 3-18 years old. 

Mission Statement


NDS’s mission is to support the performing arts activity by providing an exciting programme of classes and events with focus on three strands of work: adults, children & young people  and professional artists. Our main commitments are:

 - to promote the creative potential of young choreographers, emerging dance companies, dance students and dancers from amateur to professional level.

- to encourage people of all ages to take part in art, dance, community activities and projects that promote education and wellbeing.
