Y Nyth – Dancer Membership

Wales is rich with freelance dance talent, and we’re committed to finding new, exciting ways to support this, not just by offering a connected network, but by giving artists a real voice and a seat at the table within arts organisations, our current staffing structure reflects our commitment to being a dancer-led organisation.

Impelo is a charity, but not a foundation. We’re an association, which means our members are at the heart of how we’re run. Creating a dancer and community membership is the first step in shaping a more inclusive, collaborative future for Impelo.

Our ambition to grow into a dancer- and user-led organisation begins here, and you can be part of it from the very start.

If you’re a dancer or practitioner looking to join our community, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s get into the details…..

Whether you run a dance school, work freelance, or practise independently, your membership directly helps shape our future. You help keep the studio open, champion dance in rural Mid Wales, and build a joyful, inclusive space for artists and communities alike.

Your investment in us means we can invest in you, through meaningful projects, tailored support, and opportunities that ensure dance continues to thrive in Powys, together.

Dancer Membership Pricing Explained

We use a sliding scale membership model to help make Impelo’s dancer membership more accessible, while still supporting the sustainability of our work.

How it works:
You choose the membership price that best reflects your financial situation. Everyone receives the same benefits and support, this is about trust, fairness, and enabling more people to be part of our dancing community.

  •  For dancers who are on a low income or experiencing financial hardship.
    We want you to be part of this community, please feel able to choose this rate if you need to.

  •  This is the average price we need to make the membership sustainable.
    If this rate is affordable for you, it helps us cover the true cost of running the programme.

  •  If you’re financially comfortable, we’d love you to consider choosing this higher rate. You’ll be directly supporting access for other dancers who need the supported rate, and helping us grow a stronger, more equitable community.

Everyone, regardless of which rate you choose, will receive full membership perks, including:

  • Quarterly newsletters with all the latest from Impelo

  • Email updates featuring news, opportunities, and local networking events

  • Invites to movement sessions – a chance to take class with other dance artists in the area.

  • Paid or discounted Continued Professional Development / Training Opportunities (subject to funding and agreed with Impelo in advance)

  • Tailored support and advice, subject to staff capacity, to help you grow as a freelance artist in Powys

  • Connection to a pool of dance artists, offering peer support and collaboration across Wales.

  • And finally, by becoming a member, you’re directly investing in our studio staying open and accessible to dancers and the community. Your membership contribution helps us thrive, and that’s the magic.

A Home for Dance Artists in Powys

We know that sustaining a vibrant, high-quality dance practice in a rural area like Powys isn’t always easy. That’s why we created Y Nyth – a supportive, welcoming network for dancers who live, work, or aspire to work here, collectively shaping Powys into a thriving place for participatory dance careers.

Now evolving into a formal dancer membership, Y Nyth continues to offer connection, opportunities, and practical support – rooted in care, collaboration, and a belief in the power of dance to transform communities.
