In addition to our MSc programme, the Dance Science department is constantly involved in working with the wider dance sector. Our aim is to integrate knowledge exchange into our practice and disseminate our research-informed expertise to a wider community. This work includes scientific research and investigation into the impacts of dance within community settings; educational workshops in optimising performance and reducing injury occurrence; developing and undertaking performer-specific testing and training. Our partners range from commissioning bodies, such as regional councils, to professional dance companies at the forefront of the dance industry in the UK.

What We Can Offer

Screening Packages
Our scientifically informed packages can help you enhance your
training regime while raising your awareness and knowledge of your

fitness, proactively address potential injury risk, track your
training progress, and support you in achieving your optimal
performance potential. We offer two screening packages:
- A fundamental screening package for the individual dance
- A bespoke screening package for dance companies
See the screening packages page for more
