    Situation

    Endemic physical inactivity amongst the population and the inherent cost of that inactivity to the NHS and ultimately us, the public.

    Solution

    Dance is a very fast growing activity at present. You can't miss it on television. But competitions churn out one winner and millions of losers. This project aims to sustain, particularly young peoples' positive interest in dance by taking it to the heart of family play as a project linked to the Change4Life initative. Cheshire Dance has developed a pilot that is gathering a strong evidence base. This needs rolling out across Cheshire (this proposal), then perhaps the country.
