I can only most highly recommend you grab this opportunity of signing up for the POP- whether you are at the beginning or the end of your career or indeed anywhere in between” - POP attendee.

It's a very happy #WellbeingWednesday indeed because POP is back! 🥳

The Performance Optimisation Package, otherwise known as POP, is designed specifically with dancer’s health, fitness and wellbeing in mind, and features two elements –

• a health cash plan 💸
• and a musculoskeletal fitness screening 🦵

The BHSF Health Cash Plan enables you to reclaim on health expenses for injuries, and preventative/rehabilitative treatments, such as physiotherapy.

Musculoskeletal Fitness Screening is designed to assess key aspects pertinent to dancer’s health and fitness, providing expert advice on how to improve and optimise performance, and to reduce the risk of potential injury. Screening highlights a dancers pre-existing strengths and areas for development in training, providing bespoke, personally tailored feedback.

Screening is delivered by our NIDMS National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science partners at Trinity Laban Dance Science, Birmingham Royal Ballet Jerwood Centre, and at the University of Wolverhampton

Fancy a taster? – check out our POP video bank and gallery or join us at one of our upcoming taster screening days in November! 📅

Black History Month has arrived and with it, the opportunity to celebrate and elevate some of the incredible black voices and stories that make up our sector. As an SSO for the dance sector, we know there is still much work to be done in the fight for racial equity, and we’re whole-heartedly committed to that work.

The One Dance UK team is looking forward to supporting and celebrating the exceptional talents in our sector not only this month - but every month!
