Let's Dance

What Let's Dance does

Let's Dance is a privately held, bootstrapped creative agency founded in 2015 and headquartered in Leeds, United Kingdom. The company delivers an integrated suite of creative services — branding, web design and development, digital design, illustration, signage, copywriting, photography, and video production — alongside more specialised capabilities in interactive mapping and crowdfunding campaign creative. Its website and marketing materials position the firm as serving 'charities, independents and organisations who make the world a better place', with a primary vertical focus on nonprofits, NGOs, and social enterprises; named engagements span brain injury rehabilitation (Second Chance), migrant advocacy (Migrants' Rights Network), university student mental health (Student Grief Network), civic archives (Hyde Park Picture House), and community-led housing (Leeds Community Homes, YorSpace).

Technically, the agency builds on mainstream open-source stacks — WordPress and Laravel — rather than proprietary platforms. Notable technical differentiators include accessibility-focused design practices (e.g., softer background colours for users with brain injury), interactive map experiences with audio tour functionality, and integrations such as Spektrix (box office/donation database) and Google Maps. The firm publishes thought leadership on its 'Thoughts' blog and maintains an active Instagram presence, supplemented by occasional earned media such as BBC Radio Leeds.

Commercially, Let's Dance operates on a direct-engagement, project-based model with custom quote-based pricing — there is no public pricing, no SaaS or subscription tier, and no disclosed revenue. Distribution is entirely direct: enquiries come through [email protected], telephone, and the website contact form. The agency is geographically concentrated in Leeds and Yorkshire with a broader UK service footprint, and shows no evidence of external investment, subsidiaries, or platform-style recurring revenue.
