When you join the Acosta Dance Foundation family, and however you choose to support us, you will be helping us to continue our life-changing work with dancers and choreographers all around the world.
The ECPs of the Acosta Dance Foundation focus on introducing students to the rich dance legacy of Cuba while enhancing their understanding of movement vocabulary, music rhythms, and dance traditions. The programmes are designed in collaboration with local schools, organisations, and Woolwich Works to provide accessible opportunities for students to engage in world-class dance activities. The overarching goal is to create a dancer in every home, sparking curiosity, creativity, and an enduring appreciation for dance.
A free year-long ballet and contemporary dance training and performance program aimed at nurturing young talent. Offering a unique curriculum inspired by the Acosta Danza Academy in Havana, Cuba.
The Carlos Acosta Choreographic Fellowship is an annual program supported by the ADF that aids international dance artists, practitioners, choreographers, and researchers in the choreographic field.
The Acosta Dance Foundation Residency Programmes are structured opportunities open to choreographers & dance teachers to the opportunity to reflect, conduct research, and investigate new works or means of production.
Headquartered in Havana-Cuba, the Acosta Dance Academy aims to transform the lives of young, talented dancers who would not otherwise have the opportunity to train or study by offering free places on a three-year course.
Our global headquarters serves as an international hub for dance—a vibrant space where creative practitioners, industry professionals, and dance enthusiasts come together to collaborate, innovate, and celebrate our art form.
