The place to see dance

This season sees the King’s Theatre re-opening with a new purpose-built stage ready to host dance. The Studio Theatre is the perfect space to experience dance up close. And the Festival Theatre is, as always, packed with some of our favourite companies performing works from iconic choreographers and celebrating some major milestones. From our national dance company and local artists making dance right here in Scotland, to the international companies visiting us thanks to Dance Consortium, there’s a world of dance to enjoy!
