Because...
Dance is integral to contemporary culture. It unites the
physical, emotional and intellectual to inspire and challenge.
It brings together cultures and people of all ages, abilities and
backgrounds. Dance promotes learning, health and economic
vibrancy. It builds confidence, discipline and social skills. It is good
for our physical, mental and emotional health. It animates
places, spaces and generates employment. More people are
watching dance on television, film and in theatres. More people
of all ages are dancing. Dance is the most popular physical activity
after football for young people. It is the fastest growing art form.
