MÓTUS Dance was established in 2013 by professional dancers based in Milton Keynes, who through over 20 years of professional work around the country and internationally, recognised that there was an absence in relation to accessing high-quality, regular dance programming within Milton Keynes.

​
Since its inception, MÓTUS Dance has presented a wide range of dance work for Milton Keynes to watch, learn, participate and create. Our free festivals host an eclectic, exciting and diverse programme of work from national and internationally celebrated companies. Our performance programme takes place across the city in free public open spaces, within the centre:mk, across our cultural venues (with The Venue MK being our partner venue) and within sited areas which make interesting performance spaces. We programme high quality work on the British touring circuit alongside creating our own showcases of work and creative ventures. JUMP START is our U.Dance endorsed youth dance platform which welcomes hundreds of young dancers to The Venue MK annually to share their talent, creativity and passion. 

MÓTUS also programmes workshops and masterclasses at all levels throughout the year and has become a recognisable name in support of new dance work and emerging dance artists. 

Since MÓTUS Dance began it has celebrated increased collaboration in Milton Keynes between artistic groups and ideas. MÓTUS is delighted to be supported by Arts Council England, Milton Keynes Council, Milton Keynes Community Foundation, The D’Oyly Carte Foundation and the Leche Trust.
