ANNEX A

RESOURCES FOR DANCE

Wales

The Arts Council of Wales (ACW) funds both the creation and presentation of dance through their portfolio of revenue funded organisations and project grants. Dance currently accounts for 6 per cent of the Arts Council of Wales’s total art form budget.

Funding from the Arts Council of Wales for the dance sector includes: w two revenue funded professional dance touring companies (Diversions and Earthfall) w three membership based revenue funded dance Umbrella bodies (Community Dance Wales, Welsh Independent Dance and Cymdeithas Ddawns Werin Cymru) w and seven revenue funded community dance organisations

As shown in table 1, the total revenue funding in 2004-05 for these ACW clients was £1,102,016.

The funding shown above for 2004-05 enabled these organisations to employ 171 people (of which 39 were employed full-time) and to deliver 300 projects involving 115,129 participants across Wales, and to generate a national dance audience of 90,000 at ACW funded venues across Wales.

In 2004/05 there was additional support offered through the Arts outside funding (over £35,000 shown in Table 2). This benefits both Welsh dance companies and the key venues that are committed to developing dance in their programmes.

46 The dance sector also receives lottery funding. Some examples of lottery grants awarded in 2004/05 are: w Carlson dance company - £20,060 for Marketing Manager and Touring support, w Community Dance Wales - £20,000 for continuing the highly successful Valleys Dance Co-ordinator’s Project, w Independent Ballet Wales - £20,700 to provide Community Dance Workshops around Newport in 2005, w India Dance Wales - £20,000 from the Capacity Building and Development Fund, w Conwy County Borough Council - £33,628 to develop “Migrations”, International Contemporary Dance Project into it’s 2nd year, benefiting North West Wales, and w Jem Treays - £20,000 for “Transducer” and “Is This It”, touring across Wales.

Grants for training in dance

Some of the other grants that are available for dance projects/training are:

Dance and Drama Awards (UK) The Dance and Drama Awards were introduced to provide scholarships for the most talented dance and drama students in the United Kingdom. The Awards are offered annually to students by their provider on the basis of talent demonstrated at audition. 525 Awards were available in 2004 for students joining courses at the 22 participating private providers. The awards offer greatly reduced tuition fees and help with living and learning costs and registered child care of up to £5,125 for each child. There are no providers in Wales, but the scheme is open to all UK residents. Students on dance courses must be over 16 years old. No information on the number of successful applicants from Wales is published.

Music and Dance Scheme (Department for Education and Skills) The Department for Education and Skills’ Music and Dance Scheme (formerly the Music and Ballet Scheme) is for boys and girls with outstanding talent in music and dance. The scheme helps parents pay the fees and boarding costs at eight specialist independent schools which

47 are centres of excellence in their field. Entry into the four dance schools is normally at age 11. The contribution to fees is dependent on family income. All eight schools are located in England although there is one similar school in Scotland.

In March 2004, a new national grants scheme was announced. This is for exceptionally talented children which will allow them to gain access to specialist non-residential training. The aim is to provide access to more local specialist training although again all the centres for this non residential training are located in England. The scheme was piloted from September 2004 and extended to two extra centres in September 2005.

Both new grants are intended for young musicians aged 8 to 16 and for young dancers aged 11 to 16 with exceptional potential and dedication, and who do not have the financial means to access the best available training. The grants are means-tested and the full amount is £3,000 a year.

Arts Council of Wales The Arts Council offers Professional Training Grants which can provide up to a maximum of £2,000 per grant per year. The aim of the scheme is to support:

w Provision of all artistic, creative, technical, business, marketing and managerial training in the arts in Wales; w Individuals or organisations wishing to undertake or purchase training within Wales, the UK or abroad.

For individuals or organisations providing training, the scheme can pay for costs (except those for statutory education) such as salaries, trainers’ fees, training materials, translation costs, marketing, transport, accreditation, hiring of venues and equipment. For individuals or organisations undertaking training, the scheme can pay for costs such as training fees, conference fees, travel and accommodation.

The scheme does not support applications to attend full-time courses in higher or further education institutions, or applications to pay for individual tuition or lessons. Eligible individuals must be aged 16 years old or above and not in full-time education when the training takes place.

48 National Youth Arts Wales (NYAW) and National Youth Dance Wales (NYDW) Through its sponsorship programme, National Youth Arts Wales (NYAW) seeks to nurture partnerships with companies wishing to invest in: w the pursuit of excellence w opportunities for young people w a national enterprise, which has local dimensions w the arts and culture of Wales.

Local Authorities Councils in Wales may have funding streams available to support community activity although they are often related to regeneration. Additionally, Councils are members of European funding partnerships, which are partnerships of public, private and voluntary sector representatives, responsible for the allocation of European funding within the authority area.

Other sources include: w Communities First partnerships, again comprising representatives from the various sectors, have access to funding from the Assembly’s Communities First scheme w European social fund w Education and Learning Wales (ELWa) w Charitable trusts and foundations w Private sponsorship.

England

It is estimated the dance economy employs around 30,000 people and that there are about 200 dance companies in the UK.1

The UK also has a well-developed network of strategic support and development organisations for dance. They include: w Dance UK w The Foundation for Community Dance

1 Dance UK Dance facts http://www.danceuk.org/facts/

49 w The Place Dance Services w Association of Dance of the African Diaspora (ADAD) w The South Asian Dance Consortium w Equity w The Independent Theatre Council w The Society of London Theatre w The Theatrical Management Association w The Network of National Dance Agencies.

The UK Government’s current three-fold policy on dance was outlined by the then Minister for Arts, Rt. Hon. Estelle Morris in her evidence to the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sports Committee’s inquiry into dance as:

w To cherish excellence w To make sure that everyone has access to dance and w To maximise the contribution of dance to healthy living.

Some of the key issues in the dance sector identified by the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sports Committee’s inquiry into dance (April 2005) were:

w Sponsorship is a potential source of funding for dance that has not historically been tapped by the sector. The sector must reduce its dependence on the public purse. w Better training for teachers and greater use of specialist teachers would enhance the experience of dance in schools. w There is tension in the sector as to whether dance is an art form or physical activity. This has funding implications. w The Government should balance the need to encourage participation with the need to ensure that excellence is taught. w Working conditions can vary hugely which can affect the artist and performance. w There is a culture of low pay in the sector, which needs to be addressed.

50 w Cultural space should be included at the planning stage of new settlements.

In September 2004, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Education and Skills published a detailed joint response, which contained 38 recommendations.

The UK Government relies on the Arts Council England (ACE) to meet the objective of nurturing excellence and stimulating innovation within dance. In 2004-05 the Arts Council England (ACE) awarded 354 Arts grants for dance totalling £7,339,650.

In addition to the arts grants from the Arts Council England, £4,250,000 of National Lottery money was awarded as grants to benefit dance in 2004-05.

Other funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and from the Department for Education and Skills includes: w The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as well as funding ACE, funds (a) the Grants for the Arts Scheme and (b) the Creative Partnership scheme. w The Department for Education and Skills (DfES) sponsors a number of schemes (a) DfES Music and Dance Scheme and (b) the Dance and Drama Awards. w Jointly the two Departments work together to fund programmes such as: - Physical Education, School Sports and Club Links (PESSCL) strategy - Space for Sport and Arts - New Opportunities for PE and Sport programme and - The Music and Dance scheme (with ACE) fund Youth Dance England.

53 ANNEX B

DANCE IN THE COMMUNITY

There are seven dedicated community dance organisations in Wales and three community arts organisations which offer dance activities as a major part of their work. These receive Arts Council of Wales (ACW) revenue funding (see Annex A) plus some support from Local Authorities.

The oldest of the community dance organisations is Rubicon dance, based in Adamsdown in Cardiff, which celebrated its 30th birthday and which was the first dedicated community dance company in Great Britain. Rubicon dance also runs a one year full time preliminary dance training course to help to address the shortage of community dance leaders and Nubrico Youth Dance group.

The other community dance organisations are: Dawns Dyfed Powys Dance Dawns TAN - TAN Dance Ltd North East Wales Dance Ltd Dawns I Bawb and Dance Blast.

The seven dedicated companies provide a solid network. However there are still geographical gaps; Merthyr Tydfil for example does not have an organisation which initially covers that area; the Vale of Glamorgan does not have a dance organisation. Other organisations, such as Dawns I Bawb, in North West Wales, are very thinly stretched across the whole of Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy.

The community arts organisations which offer dance as a major part of their work and receive ACW revenue funding are: Caerphilly Dance project, Rhondda Cynon Taf Community Arts and Valley and Vale.

54 There are also some theatre and arts venues who deliver community dance provision, for example Aberystwyth Arts Centre, as well as the many independent community dance practitioners and dance teachers.

In addition, the performance dance companies also prioritise education outreach work as part of their programmes especially Diversions Dance, Carlson, India Dance Wales and Independent Ballet Wales.

Community Dance Wales, the national umbrella body, also receives revenue funding from ACW and currently has 130 active members.

Its aims are to: w lead community dance development and good practice in Wales w promote awareness and understanding of community dance activities throughout Wales w advocate for recognition of and increased support for community dance across Wales.

Participation Levels of participation in community dance activities are very high. For example ten years ago in 1993-94 the attendance figures at Rubicon dance were 19,600 and ten years later in 2003-04 they were 71,637. In addition, Rubicon, like other community dance groups, have waiting lists of groups and individuals who wish to participate in dance classes.

Training One of the factors that prevent the community dance groups expanding is a shortage of community dance leaders. In response to this shortage, w Community Dance Wales currently run a Leaders in Dance leaders course (Youth) w Powys dance offer a Laban Guild Community Dance leaders Course and there are plans to extend the Laban Guild course in the South Wales Valleys with Rhondda Cynon Taff Community Arts (RCTCA) from January 2007 w Rubicon run one year leadership courses and apprenticeships

55 w UWIC’s degree in dance helps to improve the skills of Community Dance practitioners w the PE and School Sports (PESS) programme has used partnerships with colleges in Abertillery and Merthyr Tydfil to create participation opportunities and leadership training.

More generally, Arts Training Wales is Wales’ arts workforce development agency and as an independent organisation they are able to provide advice and assistance to individuals and organisations working in the arts in Wales.

Welsh Language Provision

Across Wales there are only a small number of bilingual dance practitioners.

Powys Dance gave evidence to the Committee saying that they, like others, feel very strongly that the provision and development of dance programmes through the medium of Welsh and bilingual are crucial to the culture of a bilingual county. They also said that there is a need for the development of a strategy specifically aimed at redressing this imbalance.

56 ANNEX C

DANCE IN EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Dance and the National Curriculum Dance is a statutory part of the curriculum in Wales at Key Stage 1 and 2 where it is an element within the Physical Education subject area. At Key Stage 2, there are six areas of activity within the PE subject area and of these, pupils should be taught: games; gymnastic activities; dance; swimming and either athletic activities or outdoor and adventure activities.

Physical Education is still a mandatory subject in the National Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4; however dance itself becomes a discretionary subject.

In PE, pupils are taught games, and at least one activity from each of (a) gymnastic activities and dance, (b) swimming, athletic activities and outdoor adventure activities.

Participation The Sports Council for Wales’ most recent schools participation surveys have reported the following dance participation levels in PE, extra curricular provision and clubs:

11-16 year olds w 12% of boys participate and 51% of girls participate in dance in PE w 2% of boys participate and 15% of girls participate in extra curricular dance activities w 2% of boys participate and 21% of girls participate in dance clubs w The latent demand (those who would like to participate or participate more often) 7% of boys and 34% of girls.

7-11 Year Olds w 13% of boys participate and 29% of girls participate in extra curricular dance activities w 3% of boys participate and 31% of girls participate in dance clubs

57 w The latent demand (those who would like to participate or participate more often): 8% of boys and 52% of girls.

Girls First Girls First is a challenge for secondary schools to help raise the level of girls' participation in sport. The Sports Council for Wales offers secondary schools £1,000 if they can produce imaginative proposals to deliver new opportunities for extra-curricular activities for girls.

Examples of Girls First projects include the funding of the girls’ pop dance band Dragon Heart to promote dance classes in extra curricular time for girls across schools in the Caerphilly area. Similarly, in Bridgend Girls First funding was used to support a co-ordinated approach to dance development across all schools leading to a highly successful annual festival of performance and participation. This continues to operate.

PE and School Sport (PESS) Plan The Welsh Assembly Government published its Physical Education and School Sports (PESS) plan in June 2001 and asked the Sports Council for Wales to implement the PESS initiative. Following a successful pilot, the Assembly currently funds 45 PESS Development Centres across Wales. A Development Centre is a cluster of at least four education institutions, a minimum of three of which must be schools.

The key purpose of the Development Centres is to identify, strengthen and develop good practice in physical education and school sport. For dance, the PESS programme offers both pupil based dance projects or continual professional development programmes for teachers.

Successful dance initiatives have been developed by PESS co-ordinators working in partnership with others such as local community dance organisations, Community Dance Wales, Further Education colleges.

GCSE and A’ level qualifications The number of pupils taking a formal dance qualification is low. Table 1 shows the number of entries in dance qualifications in Wales from 2001 to 2004. The figures include entries by pupils of all ages in schools in Wales. The figures do not include entries from Further Education Colleges.

Expressive arts qualifications Although there were no school children taking a GCSE in dance in 2004, the number of pupils studying Expressive Arts at GCSE level has increased significantly each year between 2001 and 2004.

WJEC The WJEC does not offer a dance A level. Dance is included within the Physical Education syllabus. This includes sport, dance, adventure activities and exercise activities. Students must choose two of these four activities.

AQA AQA offers AS and A level in Dance which are accredited in Wales. The course content includes: w solo: choreography and performance analysis and recording w understanding dance w group choreography w performance w appreciation: content and context.

Edexcel Edexcel’s AS and an A level in the performing arts has recently been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. The course can include arts administration and marketing, dance, design, drama, music, music technology or Technical and production aspects of performance.

59 In addition, Edexcel’s Physical Education A level syllabus allows for dance to be included as one of its physical activities.

Oxford Cambridge and RSA (OCR) OCR offers A level performance studies. This course aims to establish an approach to the performing arts which is multi-disciplinary and develops qualities of imagination, sensitivity and artistic knowledge and understanding. This course helps candidates to acquire skills, to analyse repertoire in each of the art forms of Dance, Drama and Music, and study approaches to performance that unite them.

OCR will also be offering AS level in performing arts in 2005/06 and A level performing arts from 2006/07, which includes dance as one of the performance disciplines.

In OCR’s AS and A Level in Physical Education, candidates must follow a minimum of two activities from ten, one of which is dance.

Further Education At post 16 years, relatively few schools offer AS and A2 courses in performing arts/dance. These courses are more common in further education colleges, many of which also offer BTEC National Certificate and Diploma courses. In Further Education, dance comes back under performing arts and at 16 plus it is possible to do a BTEC in Performing Arts with a focus on Dance. In fact there are a number of very successful BTEC and Diploma dance courses in Wales. The amount of practical work varies from college to college and many include A level dance. Following these courses, students can go on to study for Dance degrees and some get into the contemporary dance vocational schools such as Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

Higher Education University of Wales Institute Cardiff (UWIC) is the first higher education institution in Wales to offer dance training at degree level. The dance degree course started in September 2003 enables graduates to go on to a range of dance related jobs such as teaching in the maintained sector or training to be community dance practitioners.

60 The target number for each cohort is 25. The dance degree course had eight students in its first year, twenty in the second year and has had over seventy applications for 2005/06.

The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama has considered in the past, but do not currently run, a vocational dance training course. In fact there is no vocational dance training course in Wales. Currently drama students at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama study dance and movement but not to a level to become professional dancers.

Currently all vocational courses in dance are run outside of Wales for example The Place in London, the Northern College of Contemporary Dance, Middlesex University, the Central School of Ballet and the Laban Conservatoire in London.

Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and Teacher Training Courses The committee heard evidence that the PGCE and teacher training courses have very little time allotted to teaching dance so Newly Qualified Teachers have little or no dance teaching/leading skills.

69% of teachers involved in the PE & School Sport initiative (PESS) identified dance as the subject in which they felt most in need of help. PESS is highlighting the need for professional dance in education practise to be developed for the future benefit of children in school in Wales.

Through the PESS initiative, work has been done with Initial Teacher Education and Training institutions to develop minimum standard outcomes for initial teacher training. Currently the number of hours training that teachers receive in dance is extremely varied from one or two hours to 30 or in the case of UWIC, a full degree in dance. The Sports Council for Wales believes that it is not necessarily the number of hours that should be prescribed but the achievement of minimum standard outcomes that should be consistent across all teacher training.

Through the PESS project survey, it has been demonstrated that over 43% of teachers are not confident to teach dance in primary schools and secondary schools, particularly amongst female teachers, with many male teachers at secondary school level having very little interest in dance at all. Furthermore nearly 58% of teachers have shown an interest in further

61 training and professional development in dance. This is the highest level of demand across all PE activities.

Other sources of formal dance training:

Apprentice Training Diversions Dance and Welsh Independent Dance support the independent dance sector by offering advanced level professional development training.

Rubicon has introduced an apprenticeship scheme as they found it very difficult to recruit suitable trained practitioners as community dance leaders.

Dance Leader Awards There is a growing number of dance leader awards, particularly offered through the British Sports Trust Community Leadership programme and Community Dance Wales. This type of leadership training is particularly useful for working with older pupils at key stage 4 and in Further Education and Higher Education provision.

Community Dance Wales has developed an introductory, community ‘Leaders in Dance’, (LiD) course at OCN level but delivery of the courses is dependent on finding local funding partnerships. Community Dance Wales now wishes to research and develop the second level of Leaders in Dance to provide progression routes for new dance leaders.

Laban Guild run a Dance Leaders course to OCN level 3 at Powys Dance. These take place over one weekend per month.

Ballet training The most talented ballet dancers often train from a young age at the Royal Ballet School and similar schools.

Contemporary Dance Companies and Independent Dancers Dancers in Contemporary Dance companies often come from centres such as the Northern School of Contemporary Dance or London School of Contemporary Dance. Independent dancers often come from dance degree courses such as the Laban conservatoire in London, Coventry University and Middlesex.

62 Dance Schools for Professional Dancers In the professional sphere, courses for dance are expensive. The nearest schools for professional dancers for Wales are Hammond school in Chester (private secondary vocational training), and 344 Dance Centre in Bristol, in association with Filton College, providing vocational dance training and teacher training (dance), up to Level 4.

63 ANNEX D

THE REVIEW AND TERMS OF REFERENCE

The Culture, Welsh Language and Sport Committee agreed on 30 June 2004 to undertake a review of dance. The terms of reference for the review were:
