The Rose International Dance Prize

The Rose International Dance Prize – a brand-new biennial prize for original dance creations in any style from across the globe.

Sadler’s Wells presents the four shortlisted pieces, each work selected for its top choreography, distinctive style and performance quality.

A jury of five judges (Professor Christopher Bannerman (Chair), PJ Harvey, Karthika Naïr, Dame Arlene Phillips and Dr Samuel Ross MBE) will announce the audience winner alongside the overall winner of the £40,000 prize in a special event at the end of the competition.

The Rose and Bloom Prizes were made possible by a generous donation to Sadler’s Wells from an anonymous individual who chose the name Rose for the prize.
