Dance Links
Training for dance in and out of schools
Dance Links is funded through PE, School Sport and Young People (PESSYP), an initiative of the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
The first stage of Dance Links led to the publication of Dance Links – A guide to delivering high quality dance for children and young people (Department for Education and Skills, November 2005). This guide forms the basis of best practice guidelines as used in Dance Links. You can download the guide using the link on the right of this page or order a hard copy by phoning 0845 60 222 60 and quoting document reference number PE/DL.
There are two elements to Dance Links:
