“Takes the breath away ” The Scotsman
Scottish Dance Theatre is one of the UK's leading dance theatre companies. It is also part of Dundee Rep Theatre's creative community.
SDT is a company on the move, constantly stretching the skills and talents of ten powerful and committed dancers under the guidance of Artistic Director Janet Smith and touring regularly throughout the UK and internationally.
SDT creates and tours its own special blend of dance theatre - created by AD Janet Smith, as well as internationally celebrated and emerging choreographers. The company is highly regarded for its exciting, original and accessible dance pieces. In performance, SDT offers audiences programmes made up of two or more dance pieces by different choreographers.
SDT has always had its roots in Dundee (having been based at the Rep since its inception as a community dance company in 1986) and premieres all new work at home at the Rep.
A purpose-built dance studio was finished in 2004, allowing visiting choreographers and dancers a more creative space to make dance and also giving the company the perfect space in which to run regular community classes.
The company also share their passion for dance through an education programme that reaches widely across the community, engaging young people and adults alike.
