ONEDANCEUKAWARDS2019

One Dance UK Awards celebrate the excellence of people working across dance – teachers and educators, community participation leaders, researchers, dance scientists, writers and many more across 24 award categories.

We continue to have a very strong nomination response of 1,100 nominations (930 in 2018) and the final 3 in each category are selected by an independent judging panel of 30 experts.

Final nominees and award winners were celebrated at a sold-out dinner ceremony at Imperial War Museum North on 9 November 2019. The feedback from winners, nominees and attendants is extremely positive, largely expressing pride in being recognised by peers and using the official winner or nominee status as a marketing tool.

We are grateful to Akademi and other individuals for supporting the Lifetime Achievement Awards in South Asian Dance and Dance of The African Diaspora. We continue to work on increasing the awareness and number of nominations from diverse British people, including people with disabilities and LGBTQI who all contribute strongly to dance.
