"Dance is a universal human activity that can be performed anywhere. Its benefits extend beyond the studio; it instils self-confidence and discipline, it teaches you team building skills and fills you with joy. Dance in all its forms is both physically exhilarating and a rewarding experience and offers the opportunity to express emotions through movement and music which results in the overall feeling of well-being".
Lynn Wallis FISTD, Artistic Director of the Royal Academy of Dance
