What the petition asks
The Government should state where the Dance Schools and venues that provide dance classes and socials to the community fit in the Covid19 recovery roadmap, create a tailor-made financial support mechanism for the Dance sector & clarify how help will be provided. Many dance schools are suffering.
Every Dance school teaching Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Salsa, Bachata, Ballroom, Tango etc. has been severely affected.
A plan to restart this sector is required, the government has addressed other hospitality and sport sectors, but no mention of the Dance schools and community, which will be closed much longer than other sectors.
Dance schools are not being included in any official announcements regarding the pandemic and is leaving so many dance businesses in the UK in jeopardy.
