Dance Woking is pleased to announce that we have received funding from Arts Council England’s Project grant fund to help us re-brand and re-launch our Dance Directory.

The NEW Dance Directory will also feature a listing for Creative Freelancers called Dance Surrey PRO and Organisations that support the Creative Industries with an emphasis on dance.  In order to make this a sustainable listing service there is a modest membership fee to join.

 Dance Surrey Dance Directory

ABOUT: The new Dance Surrey Directory will be a comprehensive tool for the wider community to find and access dance activity in Surrey. Dance Schools and organisations with a commitment to dance can be listed with as much information as each would like to share about classes, courses, content and timetables.

The Dance Surrey Directory will enable you to discover dance activity wherever you are in Surrey. To find the dance school for you can simply search for your interests; by style: ballet, tap, modern, contemporary, street etc. or if you’re keen to work towards your grades or take part in platforms and competitions. If you need a local school, search for a specific location or even car parking facilities.

Dance Woking will manage the directory, and as part of the re-brand will we be actively marketing the Dance Surrey Directory to increase usage using organic marketing and paid for content on social media.
