DANCE is helping young people across the district with their mental and physical health.

Participants are developing dance skills through three-day workshops, and showcasing what they've learned in live performances.

The initiative is being led by Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust, in partnership with Dance United Yorkshire.

Abbie Padgett, project manager with Dance United Yorkshire, says: "It was amazing to set up the first workshop, and there are many more to come throughout the year. It's wonderful to see how dance can support these young people in their journey.

"Some may think it’s just dance, but the transferable skills the young people learn and the confidence they build will help them in future education and work.

"They all worked so hard in the opening workshop and put on a fantastic performance at the end, which we were so proud to see after the time and effort they put in."
