IDMN is an independent group of managers, administrators, producers, promoters, programmers, consultants and agents working across the subsidised and commercial dance sectors in the UK.

Established in 2002, we are a member-run network that works to develop the sector through networking events, information-sharing, advocacy and providing training.

We are committed to supporting the development of dance in all its forms through the principles of good management and encouraging best practice.

Professional Development

“To say [IDMN] was no more than a stopping station in the trajectory of my career would be to underestimate the impact it had on me. It allowed me to edit out the unnecessary and to focus on the thoughts and ideas that really mattered as an independent manager. It offered me a voice that could be heard and keen ears that could listen.”
