Australian dance duo Lucy Doherty and Rob McLean are the founders One Dance Collective, an independent arts organisation facilitating empowerment and connection through the art of dance and movement. One Dance Collective aims to provide inspiration and information to support the evolution of a new generation of dance artists within Australia and overseas. 

“We are passionate about sharing stories through movement, creating new spaces for them to be heard and building more inclusive and accessible platforms for dance to be shared and experienced within Australia and beyond,” Doherty says.
