Deadline for applications: Monday 23 June 2025, 11:00am

No Dress Code 2025 takes place at Yorkshire Dance on Friday 21 November in the evening. The event normally features 3 or 4 works-in-progress.

After the performances we display your questions and invite the audience to provide written feedback and share their insights. There are also plenty of opportunities to discuss your work in person with local artists and audiences throughout the evening.

Each dance artist selected to perform receives a fee of £135 and studio space during the week of No Dress Code (if required and available).

We only consider proposals from artists who are not in full-time education and work in the North of England.
