Why dance?

Dance is only accorded a sub-section of the National Curriculum, being part of the PE Curriculum. There are strong arguments for suggesting that it ought to have a much higher profile within the SLD Curriculum.

All writers on dance education recognise the significance of Rudolph Laban's development of dance as an educational tool in the 1930s and 40s (Laban, 1948). These ideas were further progressed by Veronica Sherborne, with her dual concepts of awareness of self and the awareness of others (Sherborne, 1990).
