Dance is a universal form of cultural expression and combines physical activity, social interaction with creative and emotional expression. The benefits for young people are huge. I am passionate about dance being offered to our young people in the UK and this group is my way of helping that happen.

About the innovation

Value Dance in Schools

The 'Dance Teachers Agony Aunt' is a face book support page for dance teachers delivering dance lessons in the UK with over 1200 members. As a dance consultant Justine Reeve set the page up as she is passionate about Dance and the Performing Arts and believe that creativity and the arts are a much needed part of education. The page is a way to help keep dance in schools, to support teachers, to create a much needed support network and to connect formal education with the professional dance world. Many dance/PE teachers are alone (the only dance teacher) in centres and this page is a large community of dance teachers, dance artists and choreographers so that dance teachers never feel unsupported. Dance Artists, Choreographers and Dance Companies use the page as a way of connecting directly with schools and dance teachers. Choreographers can answer questions and share ideas on lesson content and delivery.
