About UKFDUK Foundation for Dance was formed in 1994 to promote dance by running venues, promoting artists, producing and touring dance shows, and offering whatever support might be appropriate at any time.Since 1998 UKFD has relaunched and managed Marylebone Dance Studio as a central London venue for dance, offering evening and week-end open classes for adults (ballet, dance, martial arts and body conditioning), as well as a popular weekday rehearsal space for professional companies and independent artists. UKFD was founded by manager Tim Tubbs, who has trained two dance managers since 1999 here at Marylebone: Isabel Tamen and Kerry Andrews. The support of dance artists and the training of new dance managers is a key part of our role. This has been made possible by funding from Arts Council England. Our first commission "Scorched Earth" was in 1996, an exciting confrontation of African and flamenco dance and music, featuring Paris-based Mari-Carmen Garcia and Koffi Koko and their musicians. Live music and passionately powerful dancing came face to face in a landscape of the imagination scorched by the sun, reddened by blood and hammered into stony hardness by the footsteps of successive generations pursuing an irreversible destiny."Scorched Earth" was co-commissioned with the Theatre Contemporain de la Danse in Paris and toured Eastern England and the East Midlands, with a sold-out season at London's Place Theatre during the Dance Umbrella Festival.
