Dance Champions Group
On Thursday 15th October 2009, the Department of Health launched the ‘Dance Champions’ Group, a new initiative to get more people dancing, more often.
The group, which includes Arlene Phillips, former Come Dancing presenter Angela Rippon, Capital Radio's Lisa Snowdon and Strictly Come Dancing pro Darren Bennett, exists to champion dance in all its forms and get 100,000 people more active through dance in the run up to the 2012 Olympic Games.
The Dance Champions Group will deliver a series of ‘Celebration Events’ across England that will be FREE to participants and will cover the widest possible range of dance styles. The group will link these events into current dance initiatives and use them to signpost into regular movement and dance opportunities.
In order to successfully create a legacy from these events, the Dance Champions Group will be working and consulting with deliverers of movement and dance to identify opportunities that are currently being delivered and feed into them, where relevant and necessary.
The Dance Champions website (www.dancechampions.org.uk) is an easy to access directory of dance opportunities, enabling those that wish to dance to find the places and the people who can help them to take their first steps.
