We have been very quiet on here recently as have been absolutely FLAT OUT with some amazing teaching projects and lots of CPD getting schools ready for September. But as it’s #NationalSchoolSportsWeek and we have had an especially wonderful day today! #schoolsport #PE

[MOTION Dance Initiative @MOTION_Dance_]

We have had some powerful moments this term where pupils have said they didn’t think they would ever get to try out dance, and can’t believe how much they have got from it. Dance should be available in all schools, not just to those who can afford to access it outside school.

@deputygrocott Morning #FFBWednesday ! We are shouting about @onedanceuk report into Dance in Education this week! Dance is for everyone, not just those with money. Have a read of the report and let us know what you think! #schooldance #danceineducation

[MOTION Dance Initiative @MOTION_Dance_]

AJ highlighted on strictly this week how much she wanted to dance when she was younger but her family couldn’t afford it. THIS IS WHY WE NEED DANCE IN SCHOOLS! Dance for all ☺️ Check out @onedanceuk ‘s report this week on dance in education and what needs to change 🙌

[MOTION Dance Initiative @MOTION_Dance_]

Dance is so incredibly powerful for our young people! We need to fight to keep it in our schools so EVERYONE can experience it, not just the few with enough money to participate outside of school.
