The Rise up and Dance programme seeks to provide a variety of free education and community programmes, classes and workshops that respond to local cultural challenges by improving dance awareness and access to the arts for young people in the Borough of Greenwich.

Situation
Many children and youth in Greenwich Borough grow up in low-income households and are more likely to face mental health issues, poor physical health, low sense of well-being and other social issues. Almost a third of neighbourhoods in Greenwich are amongst the 20% most deprived in England and as a result may be less likely to have access to dance and other cultural activities.
Solution
By collaborating with local schools and youth organisations we will offer free dance-related activities that tackle these challenges and improve young people's lives through enhancing resilience, body confidence, self-expression, communication skills, cultural awareness, physical fitness, well-being, and mental health. Some of these activities include Afro-Cuban Rumba, Contemporary, Salsa, visits to our dance centre in Woolwich to watch rehearsals, musicality workshops, and more!
