Glasgow
YDance (Scottish Youth Dance) is the national dance organisation for children
and young people in Scotland. The company works across three key areas – Access
and Participation, Education and Talent Development, to give every child and
young person in Scotland the chance to participate in dance at whatever level is
right for them. In the 21st century children and young people need to develop a
range of transferable skills to help them navigate their lives so they can be
successful and responsible citizens. At YDance we believe the arts and dance
offer children a unique opportunity to develop a range of skills that will
empower them to reach their full potential. Through working with a range of
partner organisations from sport, education, health, social services and youth
justice we create projects that allow children from a range of different
settings and communities to access high quality bespoke dance sessions, enabling
them to learn about themselves, learn about dance and learn through dance.
