DANCEFEST, based at the Angel Centre in Worcester, has secured a lottery grant through Arts Council England.
The cash will help them fulfil demand, widen participation and draw bigger audiences to dance.
Manager and founder member Rose Beeston said: "It will help us provide an even better dance service to the people of Herefordshire and Worcestershire."
DanceFest was born in 1990. In addition to regular classes, it has produced large-scale performances, such as Dreams and Ruin at Witley Court in 2005, and now has the potential to do even more.
DanceFest is on 01905 611199 and at www.dancefest.co.uk
