Women in Dance Awards 2021

One year since the creation of AWA DANCE (Advancing Women’s Aspirations with Dance), an online ceremony was held to celebrate a woman for being an outstanding leader in the UK dance sector in 2020, someone whose actions have made an impact beyond herself. The award recipient could be a choreographer, dancer, producer, technician, administrator, artistic director, etc, someone that has made an exceptional contribution to the dance sector this 2020 for her leadership practice.
