What do you think are the challenges for dance in 2008-2012?<br />

Probably financial challenges leading up to the Olympics Encourage more people to carry on<br />

seeing dance in theatres & not just on telly on Saturday night For it to be seen as an art form<br />

& not just a weight loss programme review of training ie how many classes provided in some<br />

institutions. The 3rd years at Newcastle college had only 3 technique classes a week when I<br />

taught them last term. For funders to understand that dancers need to constantly be in shape<br />

as more is demanded from them, which means regular training/classes provided by National<br />

<strong>Dance</strong> Agencies & an income from which they can afford regular massage/osteopath<br />

treatments.<br />
