Bedfordshire DanceSport Club
The Bedfordshire DanceSport Club has been formed to look after the welfare of DanceSport competitors in Bedfordshire. A small committee has been formed with the initial brief to investigate possible sources of funding to assist its members with training etc. As the committee becomes more established it will be able to broaden its activities.
Youth Development Programme
The DanceSport Academy recognises
the contribution that can be made by teenagers and the need to help them develop
into responsible adults. The Youth Development Programme has been introduced
to allow young people 14 years to 19 years to become volunteers. We have two
categories of volunteer, DanceSport Leader and Trainee Coach. In both Volunteers
will be able to develop their communications and motivational skills. Also
they will learn additional skills such as presentation, planning, organisation
etc. These are of course all skills for life.
DanceSport Leader
DanceSport Leaders will assist in classes
partnering and mentoring other less experienced dancers.
Trainee Coach
Trainee Coaches will lead classes in exercises
and provide one to one training within a class where appropriate.
