Dance is for everyone
Dance is one of the activities we can choose for improving our fitness and health. Anyone can enjoy dancing regardless of age, shape, size or background, whether disabled or non-disabled, and whether or not they have danced before. You can dance as part of a group or alone and in a variety of places.

The vibrant range of styles drawn from different cultures gives dance an impressive reach in our multicultural society. Dance also has a long history of successfully working with hard to reach groups and building a sense of social cohesion within communities.

At its simplest, dance involves moving rhythmically to music. Anyone can do this with benefits to their physical health. It has particular appeal to a number of groups that may not readily engage with traditional sports – young women, older people and culturally diverse groups, for example. Dance can also introduce people to other forms of physical activity.

Each dance style has its own attractions, e.g. ballet, ballroom, African dance forms, South Asian dance, contemporary dance, Morris dance, ceroc (a fusion of jazz and salsa), hip hop.

The broad appeal of dance is easy to demonstrate:
Dance is the fastest growing of all the art forms; each year, nearly five million people take part in dance activity in their communities. In a recent Physical Education School and School Club Links (PESSCL) survey, dance was second only to football as the most popular activity. Dance also showed the largest increase in the number of school club links created a survey of over 50,000 Year 9 pupils in over 700 schools in the North West showed dance as the top activity for girls outside school and that demand for dance was greater than the opportunities available
