Calling all Northern dance artists, applications are now open for No Dress Code 2026! 

No Dress Code, Yorkshire Dance’s annual scratch night, takes place on 20 Nov in Leeds and is open to dance artists based in the North who are no longer in full-time education or training.

No Dress Code offers a supportive environment to gain audience feedback. They are seeking 3 or 4:

• Short (5-15 mins) works-in-progress created for a live audience
• Works suitable to programme in a studio or performance space with minimal technical requirements and set

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).

Deadline: 11.00am, 17 August 2026
