England Dance Squad
England Dance Squad trains, supports and enables young dancers and gymnasts to represent their country at the International Dance Federation(IDF) World and European Championships.
We are a "Not for Profit" Community Organisation headed up be four professional Dance Teachers who have been involved with the IDF for the last 13 years. During that time we have supported over 800 dancers and been placed very near the top of the league table of countries competing. We recruit dancers from all over England. We liaise and organize the team on a voluntary basis. We are very proud of our young dancers who dedicate themselves with enthusiasm and hard work to deliver the highest standards possible.
You can help
We are looking for extra sponsorship/funding to help assist gifted dancers who cannot afford the expense of representing England at these prestigious events. Although we organize sponsored activities for the dancers, we would like to be able to support talented dancers who do not have the financial means. There are many ways you could help, sponsoring team tracksuits, dance bags, rehearsal costs, travel costs.
Please contact us if you would like more information: Angie 07768 310521
