As a culture, it seems our fascination with dance – a performance art form that communicates through the body and movement – is one that has grown exponentially in the United Kingdom over the last few decades.
According to Dance UK, an organization founded in 1982 in direct response to the demand from various sectors of the dance community for the creation of ‘a unified voice to speak and take action on its behalf’, the dance industry contained within our shores employs around 30,000 individuals in a myriad of roles, in the likes of dancers, teachers and choreographers, just to name a few.
