Early Years Dance Network

The Early Years Dance Network (EYDN) is for dance artists, practitioners and organisations working in early years, and with young children and families in communities and arts venues.

The Network aims to

• Create opportunities for dance artists, practitioners and organisations to share skills, learning and practice
• Profile and support the professional development of artists, practitioners and organisations working in early years dance
• Positively profile the benefits and impact of early years dance on children and families through campaigns
• Create platforms and opportunities for debate and discussion to take place
• Work strategically with partners across the UK to ensure that early years dance is valued.
