Dance Manifesto
On Monday 23 February Dance UK will launch the Dance Manifesto, at a beginners' social dance class hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Dance Group for all MPs. With the title Dance: A Great British Success Story, the Dance Manifesto will seek to highlight areas where dance adds value or could contribute more, and will include outline recommendations for government support for dance in the regions and nations of the UK.
This is an important opportunity for us to advocate for dance in the lead up to the 2015 election. We need your help to ensure that dance is top of mind our MPs. Please take the time to personally invite your local MP to this event and consider coming yourself.
You can find your local MP's name and contact information using your postcode or constituency here: http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/mps/

Juggling the demands of a dance curriculum: using periodization techniques as a tool
Training pre-professional dancers has become increasingly complex due to the diverse skill demands being placed on today’s graduate. This has often led to an overloaded curriculum resulting in a heavy workload for teachers and students alike, causing increased perceptions of fatigue, overwork and increased prevalence of injuries. In recent years, this has led to the question of whether the graduates of this system are the best dancers or just the ones who have managed to survive.

"There is something great about using an element of texture that will work in contrast to the bodies of the dancers on stage."
