With evidence suggesting that music increases motivation, improves brain function and mental wellbeing, we encourage you to use music to get your pupils moving this Summer.

Dance helps young people to develop motor skills like balance, coordination, rhythm, and spatial awareness. It also boosts their confidence because they get the chance to do something they feel good about.

Because of these benefits, it makes dance one of the most vital educational activities in school.
