The outpouring of support has been extraordinary. From the numerous comments on our social media to the petition that is close to reaching 4,000 signatures, we are deeply touched. Sign it.

The necessity for dance provision in the region is clear, and the response we have received is a testament to this. Continue to advocate and ask the pertinent questions to ensure it remains a staple of the city's community offerings.

We have received endorsements from our arts and cultural allies, which we are eager to share with the public in our blog.

Our Chair Corey Mwamba and supporter and dance tutor, Camille Mauduit, were on Ian Skye's show today. It was an impassioned plea about what our building offers, it's programmes of work in and for the community and Derby's artistic landscape, and why it's vital it continues.

If you wish to send any questions through to the Council and Cllr Nadine Peatfield, please do so before Friday. Details are at the end of the video.

Members of our community, supporters of everything we do, have created this petition in the hopes of mobilising a way in which the dance centre could still operate.

This petition has nearly 2,500 signature now. We are extremely grateful for this support. It really does mean everything to us as we seek ways in which our provision of dance classes, performances, and community outreach programs can continue.

For those on Instagram, we've created a story with a working link you can click on.

We are sure that you have been digesting the news over the past few days concerning our decision to announce voluntary insolvency procedures.

This is a difficult time for us all. But despite this news we are looking for a solution to save what the organisation does, and avoid closure of the building by working with stakeholders and partners.

Your support since the news has been nothing short of heart-warming and inspiring and, and we really appreciate how you feel about the news but also your desire to help in finding solutions, too. Seeing nearly 2,000 signatures signed to a petition to save us, set up by a Déda supporter is just one of example of your support for us that we humbly feel and accept.

We'll share that link to the petition in a separate post and story. For more information about our decision to announce voluntary insolvency procedures, follow or copy the link below:

It's that time of the year again when we 'go dark' and do some essential maintenance to be ready for the rest of the year.

What does this mean? Well, the building is closed for two weeks, from the 12th until 24th August. Doors open on the 26th August.

Enjoy your time and we'll see you on the other side! 😃
