As the subject association for dance, we are pleased to support dance in schools from early years and foundation stage to key stage 5. One Dance UK advocates for the value and place of dance in schools due to its unique position as a curriculum activity that combines creativity with physicality. We aim to support dance teachers in schools to deliver high-quality education through keeping members up to date with education news, policies, research and the latest teaching pedagogy. We see ourselves in a unique position between linking teachers and dance companies to enable a thriving dance education across the nation. We support students through learning and developing skills within dance education from university to initial teacher training. Lastly, we provide CPD for non-dance specialists who may deliver dance in primary school settings to CPD for teachers and freelance dance artists.
