Explore 50 years of Rubicon Dance at the Museum of Cardiff

An exhibition celebrating 50 years of community dance is now open at the Museum of Cardiff

A brand new exhibition showcasing 50 years of community dance in Wales through the history of the Rubicon Dance company is now open at the Museum of Cardiff. 

Entitled 'Rubicon Dance at 50', the exhibition celebrates 50 years of dance, creativity, and community activities through photographs, costumes, films and stories. Rubicon Dance is the oldest community dance organisation in Wales and the second oldest in the UK.

The exhibition, which is on display in the museum's City Showcase Gallery, is free to visit and runs until 27 February 2027 at the Old Library building on The Hayes, Cardiff.

For 50 years, people of all ages have found a place to dance at Rubicon. From a child’s first class to creative youth dance, community groups, health and rehabilitation programmes, and professional development opportunities for dance practitioners across Wales, our work has grown far beyond our studios in the Adamsdown area.

For more information about access to the exhibition, please visit the Museum Of Cardiff.

As part of the exhibition, Rubicon Dance is also looking for volunteers to help support the exhibition by appearing in a special 'Human Library' programme in which they will be available to welcome visitors and share their own stories about their connection to Rubicon Dance or other community dance heritage in Cardiff. No previous experience is needed, and travel expenses and refreshments will be provided. For more information, please contact the Rubicon Dance volunteer coordinator: email Valentina Solari-Vodanovic.
