Dance artists need many different skills to make a living from the
artform they love. In partnership with the Dance Training and
Accreditation Partnership (DTAP), FCD has developed three handy booklets
- for dance artists, CPD providers and employers - to illustrate how
the skills dance leaders need relate to the National Occupational Standards for Dance Leadership.
Which booklet is for you?
Knowing your role
This booklet has been designed for
dance leaders to help you cross-reference the National Occupational Standards with the skills that you need to be more effective practitioners. This has the benefit of helping you identify where to find training to help you fill skills gaps and identify the transferable skills you need to move into new markets.
