The Jerwood DanceHouse officially opened its doors to the public for classes and performances in October 2009. Some of the world's greatest dance talents joined in with the celebrations, including: Sylvie Guillem, the Ballet Boyz, Akram Khan and The Royal Ballet.

It's DanceEast's vision for the entire community to have ownership of this facility, and to feel that the Jerwood DanceHouse is theirs, whether for a coffee or a class.
