NRG Youth Dance & Health project

March 2007 saw the launch of the findings of groundbreaking research undertaken by Hampshire Dance and Laban .

The research assesses the effects of a ten week creative dance programme on the physiological and psychological health and fitness characteristics of school children aged 11-14 years. It has provided the first scientific evidence proving creative dance improves children’s physical and psychological fitness.
