A cultural learning brief for London schools and workplaces
Black History Month programming should begin with a clear theme and an appropriate practitioner, rather than treating different Black dance traditions as interchangeable. Tell us the histories, cultural questions or creative practices you want participants to explore and whether the format is a workshop, performance or moderated discussion.
For a workplace or university audience, explain the wider programme and how dance will contribute to it. For schools, include ages, existing knowledge and the learning context. A participatory session needs room and support for movement; a performance or conversation needs its own technical and audience plan.
Share the borough, venue, date and proposed duration, as well as whether recording is intended. Content and cultural framing should be agreed with the practitioner before promotion. Enquiries can be considered throughout the year. See USDD’s workshops and creative services for the wider commissioning approach; specific titles, artists and outcomes are confirmed for each brief.
Explore delivery areas: Southwark, Westminster, Lambeth, Lewisham and Sutton. Other London boroughs can be included in your enquiry.

Organisations commission teachers, workshops, choreography and performers through Networks. Individuals seeking regular classes, private dance tuition or first-dance lessons should use USDD Academy.
A tailored quote with clear responsibilities
Fees reflect creative development, practitioner numbers, preparation, rehearsals and delivery. Travel and accommodation where required are quoted in addition to delivery fees. Recording, promotional use, technical support and any further production responsibilities are agreed separately.
Institutions should explain procurement, supplier documentation, safeguarding and supervision requirements early. Provisional dates or funding should be identified clearly. A proposal does not reserve artists or confirm a booking.

Booking questions
Can I request a specific dancer, teacher or style?
Yes. Share the preference and why it suits the project. We check suitability and availability before proposing or confirming practitioners.
Can I enquire with provisional dates or funding?
Yes. Tell us what is confirmed and what is pending. An enquiry or proposal does not hold dates, reserve artists or create a confirmed booking.
What happens after I submit the form?
USDD reviews your service, venue, dates, budget and creative brief, then contacts you to discuss the fit and any missing information. Availability, scope, fees and booking arrangements must be agreed before confirmation.
