WELCOME

Dance Sport Trust

Dance Sport Trust is an independent resource and conversation platform created to support the Dance Sport community with clear, balanced information around development, wellbeing, safeguarding awareness and long-term participation.

By bringing together articles, podcasts, contributor pieces and practical guides, Dance Sport Trust aims to make reliable knowledge more accessible to dancers, parents, teachers and professionals across the industry.

Dance Sport Trust is intended to support people across the Ballroom and Latin American dance community, regardless of age, background, role, level of participation or pathway through dance.

Our Mission

Dance Sport Trust exists to gather and share thoughtful guidance for the Dance Sport community, especially where dance, sport, performance, development and wellbeing overlap.

Dance Sport often sits between sporting and performing arts frameworks, which means clear guidance on development, wellbeing, safeguarding awareness and long-term participation is not always easy to find.

The Trust aims to help bridge that gap by drawing on recognised knowledge from child development, youth sport, safeguarding, performing arts education and dancer wellbeing, and translating it into balanced information, practical resources and thoughtful insight for the community.
