South East Dance

Nurturing community support and driving commercial success for this inclusive dance organisation

When South East Dance, an arts charity championing all forms of dance from breakdancing to ballroom across the South East, needed a new website, we recognised that this project went far beyond creating a digital presence. At its heart was building vital connections within both the local and professional dance communities along with the ambitious goal of fundraising for a new dance space.

Our journey with South East Dance began during the early stages of their physical space development, where our initial focus was on generating anticipation and community support. We worked diligently to help local residents embrace the benefits this new space would bring, creating pathways for involvement through volunteering, donations, memberships, and family contributions.

As the project evolved, so did our objectives. What started as building advanced interest transformed into driving commercial success through multiple revenue streams. We developed an intuitive navigation system with robust filtering and search capabilities, making it easy for users to discover and book spaces, purchase tickets, and make donations. The website became a dynamic platform that not only showcased South East Dance's diverse programming but also facilitated meaningful engagement with their audience.

Over the past five years, our partnership with South East Dance has flourished into a remarkable success story. Their website has become an essential tool for achieving commercial goals while nurturing deep connections throughout the local community. With a consistently packed calendar of events, increasing donations, strong ticket sales, and growing space bookings, the platform continues to exceed expectations.

The success of this project lies not just in its immediate impact but in its sustained growth and adaptability. As we look to the future, we're excited to continue this journey with South East Dance, supporting their mission to make dance accessible and engaging for everyone in the South East region.
