Backing Ireland’s next generation of dance.

From the very beginning, we wanted New Generation to be more than a title. It is about giving young dancers opportunities, experiences and support that recognise how much work sits behind their ambition.

That is why having GRIT behind our New Generation Advocates matters.

As our Official New Generation Sponsor, GRIT is supporting each of our five Advocates throughout their journey, including their own GRIT Dance Tower and backpack.

It is a partnership built around something we both believe in: young dancers deserve to feel seen, supported and invested in.

Thank you to for believing in what we are building, and in the dancers who are only just beginning to show us what their generation can become.

The future of dance is already here.
