The diversity of those working in dance education in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire is vast, but what binds us is our love of dance and its positive influence on young people. Feedback tells us that dance educators often work in siloed settings and enjoy opportunities to connect with like minded people and enhance their practice.
MÓTUS Dance aims to support dance educators with a high quality platform, primarily being once-a-term in person MK Dance Educators Network Sessions. All those working in dance education are welcome, including teachers in and out of school settings, outreach managers and community dance practitioners.

-
Practical dance workshops with leading dance practitioners
