The GuiDANCE project

The GuiDANCE project (Growing up in dance: Enhancing education and creating sustainable practices in growth and maturation in the dance sector) is a collaboration between the University of Exeter and 3 key UK dance organisations led by Dr Siobhan Mitchell. The project aims to address the challenges associated with the pubertal transition in dance for young people. There are lots of ways to contribute to the project if you’re interested…

Survey for dance teachers

As part of the GuiDANCE project we want to understand more about dance teacher training needs in the area of growth and development.

The aim of the survey is to understand more about dance teacher training needs in the area of growth and development with the goal to tailor the content, format and focus of training and support available on this topic to meet the needs of dance teachers.
