Dance is one of humanity’s superpowers, it can be the UK’s too
Comment piece
by
Britannia Morton, Sir Alistair Spalding
“
Dance offers a unique opportunity for a healthy, happy nation. Movement and dance bring £3.49 bn in social value and create £430m in health savings each year, preventing Dementia, diabetes and reducing loneliness.
Yet, GCSE and A Level performing arts uptake reached a new low in 2024. Since 2010, dance uptake has fallen by 60 per cent at GCSE and 59 per cent at A-level.
