Second Hand Dance is a disabled-led dance company driven by Artistic Director Rosie Heafford and Executive Producer Claire Summerfield. Established in 2013, we create touring shows and digital dance experiences for children and adults. Based in England our work has a growing international profile as well as local and regional impact. We have toured the globe – from the UK to Europe, China, Canada, and the USA.


Our Vision 

We believe that every person, from birth, deserves great art that includes and expands their experiences. Our vision is a world where dance, play and exploratory movement are central to the lives of children and adults, as vital and fluent as language.


Our Mission 

We create beautiful, sensory dance experiences that are accessible and welcoming to all bodies. Our work is bold and distinctive, with a rich visual and participatory aesthetic. We use movement and play to create an expanded reality, opening new spaces for expression that forge connections across generations. We inspire our audiences to carry on dancing long after a performance has ended.
