Over the last 30 years, from small beginnings in Leeds, Phoenix Dance Theatre has grown to be one of Britain's leading contemporary dance companies.

Formed in 1981 in the Harehills area of Leeds, Phoenix Dance Theatre has become one of the UK’s most well-known and respected contemporary dance companies. Touring to mid-scale venues internationally and across the UK, Phoenix presents a repertoire of work from both established and up and coming choreographers, focussing on producing compelling, entertaining and diverse mixed programmes. The work on stage is supported by a dedicated education programme which helps widen access to dance for people of all ages and abilities and provides world class training for young, aspiring contemporary dancers.
