Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Angela Watkinson (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 17 November 2008 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Sports and Arts Participation
- Question
- Dance involves both physical activity and artistic benefits. What will the Minister do to make dance opportunities more widely available in our schools?
- Answer
-
We intend to enable specialist dance colleges to work with other schools. I agree with the hon. Lady that dance is an excellent way of involving young people. One of the main problems with sport in schools is getting girls involved, and dance is an excellent way of getting them involved when they may not feel quite so keen on other forms of physical activity.
