DANCE TEACHERS' QUALIFICATIONS

EDM number 2125 in 2005-06, proposed by Meg Hillier on 09/05/2006.

That this House calls for the compulsory qualification of professional dance teachers in line with the standards of physical knowledge required of sports teachers; notes that some young people are suffering avoidable physical and psychological harm due to the lack of knowledge of some unqualified teachers; further notes that research conducted by the Birmingham Royal Ballet reveals that a high proportion of young people receive two or three injuries a year which are frequently exacerbations of injuries originally sustained under instruction by inadequately qualified or unqualified teachers; and believes that a recognised qualification is one way for parents to protect their children from harm.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
