Youth Dance

Youth Dance is thriving and is on the brink of an exciting new phase. Following the publication of the Tony Hall report and the subsequent announcement of an investment of £5.5 million over the next three years, Dance South West will be hosting the Youth Dance Strategy Manager who will play a vital role in sustaining the regional network on behalf of Youth Dance England.

Dance South West works with a wide range of partners within schools, youth services, sport, and health for the benefit of young people and dance.

Dance South West (in partnership with Swindon Dance) is also developing a second-phase Centre of Advanced Training (CAT) model for young people who have been identified as having exceptional talent in dance. Dance South West is working towards establishing a new centre in the South West early 2009.
