Health! Dance of Life

Healthy Community Partners & Resources

Welcome!

The School of Dance actively works with organizations whose mandate involves supporting health and wellness, nutritional education, and enhancing positive body image in and through arts and physical education. In 2010, The Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport awarded The School a Healthy Communities Fund grant to launch its new Dance of Life programme. For more details, please see our official press release here .

This new corner on our webpage has been set up as part of the broader aims of our Dance of Life project which involve contributing to an expanded Provincial and National dialogue on wellness in and through artistic and sports-related experiences, including dance. This space is thus meant to serve as a resource for parents, students, teachers, stakeholders, and members of the general public seeking current health and wellness information. We invite you to browse our colleague organizations' websites which have made available to you and include up-to-date information, tools, readings, and resources for everyone in the classroom, boardroom, gym, art or dance studio, and at home. In addition, we encourage you to contact these organizations directly should you need more information, have questions, and/or require further guidance.

Finally, we would be delighted to hear from you ( contact The School ) if there is a health and wellness topic or dance-related subject you would like to know more about.
