 Dance
Dance has been the
Cinderella of art forms for too long - its time has
come. Millions watch Strictly Come Dancing -
millions watch Darcey Bussell’s Farewell at the
Royal Opera House.

Dance is a fundamental way
in which people up and down the nation express
themselves, creatively. It also encourage peoples
self-esteem and self-awareness. Dancing can develop
learn working skills and discipline.

Dance Review - 2007
Most people want to be able
to dance and to give children this skill for life is
imperative. It helps to build confidence and is a
wonderful vehicle for self-expression. Through the
creation of dances children also develop their
creative and social skills and in performance
understand what it is to work as a team. By watching
their own and other's work they begin to develop
wonderful evaluative and analytical skills vital to
continuing education
