BLACKPOOL, FYLDE AND WYRE DANCE AUDIT

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU

We are carrying out a comprehensive audit of dance activities across

Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

We want to hear from every type of dance provider in every town, village and

hamlet throughout the four corners of the Fylde coast. If you’re involved in

ballet, after school dance groups, ballroom and tea dances, street dance,

contemporary dance or anything in between we want to hear from you.

Whether professional or amateur, young or old, voluntary or commercial

dance we want to find out who’s working and delivering dance activities.

We want to connect with you and listen to your ideas as we’re going to be

championing dance across the Fylde coast.

This is a fantastic chance for us

to increase resources, opportunities and participation.

WHY FILL IT IN?

If you fill in this audit then we can understand what you want and need to

support dance. It also helps us to see where the gaps are and what the

strengths and weaknesses are but we need to find out what is already

happening. If there are fantastic clog dancers in Layton then we need to

know, likewise if there are free runners in Fleetwood – get in touch.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE INFORMATION?

The audit provides us with essential feedback on the views of dance artists

and those who support dance. We would like to create a database of

organisations and individuals who are involved with dance so that we are able

to start an informal dialogue and keep you informed of future developments.

We would really appreciate your help in completing this audit and forwarding

copies to people from any organisation, school or artist who you know is

involved with dance. We recognise that dance is hugely varied and includes

many forms and styles.

We are keen to ensure that all forms of dance and

individuals, in whatever form and context, are included in this audit.

Blackpool Council will hold the information, but it will be shared across the

partnership. Please return by July 31
