Benefits
'It has been brilliant this year, the students have loved it and have been committed and enthusiastic about every class and performance'. Liz Cater, Harris Academy South Norwood
“Dance helps young people to focus their energy, express themselves, keep fit, learn team work and develop an interest that occupies their spare time. Many young people just aren’t encouraged to give it a go, especially young men and people with disabilities. I want to support young people and help them develop new interests in their lives, that is why the Jack Petchey Foundation has supported the Step into Dance programme. For me it has been a pleasure to support. I see the pride and joy on young people’s faces when they have worked together to entertain an audience – they can go home happy, they know what it feels like to work hard and achieve something and they will want to go and do more. We are helping them develop new interests and that can only be good.” Jack Petchey OBE
