‘Everything We Loved About Dance Was Taken’ The place of dance in UK education
In 2021, One Dance UK set out to gather information about the current dance landscape in schools, identify areas of concern and their causes, whilst also considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of the research are collated in this report, along with a series of recommendations and calls to action to ensure every child and young person has access to high–quality dance as part of their education.
