Foreword by Veronica Jobbins (Chair, NDTA) and Margaret Talbot (Chief Executive, afPE): For many teachers, dance remains a challenge, as they often have not had the benefit of adequate dance preparation and may lack the confidence, skills or knowledge to make a start. Dance is unique, as it offers young people creative, artistic and physical experience. Nationally, it is a fast-growing subject, especially in secondary schools, with the number of young people taking GCSE, AS/A2 Level and vocational examination courses in dance, increasing rapidly. There are many exciting dance initiatives in schools, involving teachers of physical education and, often, professional dance artists and agencies. At last, the outdated view that dance is only for girls is being swept away, as more and more schools are teaching dance to both boys and girls, in mixed or single-sex classes. It is vital that more teachers develop their knowledge and skills in dance, so that both dance and students can flourish. With good teaching at this stage in secondary schools, students will be empowered to continue their dance involvement, whether into adult life or through developing the skills needed for progression into examination courses or performance. Having made a start, many teachers find dance classes rewarding and satisfying, enjoying the enthusiasm and ideas that students themselves develop when given the opportunity to benefit from well-taught creative dance edance experiences. We see this resource as an invaluable tool for encouraging high-quality dance learning and teaching in schools, in both arts and physical education curricula.
