AWA DANCE (Advancing Women’s Aspirations with Dance) is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) based in the UK, founded by choreographer Avatâra Ayuso. AWA DANCE is dedicated to the leadership development of women and teenage girls, using the transformative power of dance as a tool to empower their voices.
AWA DANCE sits at the intersection of three areas: Dance + Leadership + Women & Girls issues.
We aim to produce change by offering our participants spaces to grow their leadership skills, with dance and leadership workshops and opportunities for women and our girls in dance festivals. We consider ourselves a participant-led organisation: we gather data, listen to feedback, take action and include our participants in the decision-making process of our activities.
We are committed to gender equality, intersectional feminism and our DANCE values (Dream big, take Action, Navigate the world, create an artistic and leadership voice and Empower others). These commitments lead our actions, activities and partnerships.
1 in 3 of our programmes would not be possible without the generosity of legacy gifts. Leaving a gift in your Will helps us empower the next generation of women and girls through dance, leadership, and lifelong confidence. Your legacy becomes their future.
