    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research has been a lengthy and complex process. We have always stated publicly that this work was for the dance field and it has been carried out in collaboration with the field. We have had support from so many people throughout the process and without this we could not have completed the work. Firstly, we would like to thank Janet Archer, Theresa Beattie, Ellie Hartwell and Tania Wilmer in the dance strategy department of Arts Council England. Without their support this work would not have been possible. Tania Wilmer carried out many of the interviews for the illustrations that pepper the report and we are immensely grateful to her for her rigour and hard work. We are also grateful to those who agreed to be interviewed and gave so generously of their time. There were many Arts Council staff who sourced and contributed data but Jonathan Treadway, Amanda Rigali, Delia Barker and Rebecca Dawson deserve special mention. Regional dance officers provided valuable local data and information and their input through the Dance Practice Group meetings was always valuable. Terry Adams and Claire Cowles (the ‘Survey Monkey’ queen) provided invaluable research backup to us throughout the process and their rigour is evident in the survey data as well as in the analysis of the Arts Council England data. The Steering Group (listed in Appendix One) supported the process, guided us wisely and challenged us when necessary. Their support for the consultation events was also greatly valued. The strategic agencies provided ongoing access to data, Foundation for Community Dance (FCD) staff carried out an analysis of jobs advertised and Sean Williams and his team at Council for Dance Education and Training (CDET) carried out research on the private sector for us that has helped to create a better picture of this sector.
