Dance in Education Services is unique. You might ask yourself why we are unique. Well...
...We produce publications, training programmes, workshops, individual lessons for every stage of the education cycle, ranging from the Foundation Stage to Post Graduate studies.
We have ADEPT (A Dance Education portal for Pupils and Teachers) the only dance education portal of its kind in the world. We have been awarded the prestigious afPE kite mark for our Adept Portal CPD programme which means that our training packages offer high quality professional development and are in line with the DfEE Code of Practice for Providers of Professional Development for Teachers. The Code makes clear what schools and individuals can expect from providers that will ensure high quality professional development.
We are a Curriculum Online Registered Retailer and Content Provider; very few organisations are both.
We operate as an external advisory service for 8 Local Education Authorities. We are a registered UK dance publisher. We are members of PLS, MCPS, PRS, GS1 UK.
We are regularly commissioned by national bodies to devise new training programmes for national roll out and UK implementation.
The sheer breadth and range of products and services is second to none. Everything we produce has full cross referencing to the National Curriculum.
Many of our publications are best sellers and featured on examination Board's recommended reading lists.
We operate as consultancy basis for some major UK-based professional dance companies.
Company founders Andrea Mallen and Paul Flynn trained as dance specialists, but also as teachers, which means that we have the subject knowledge and practical expertise, but we also fully understand school culture, pedagogy, measurability and accountability offering the best of both worlds.
We operate at every level of the National Physical Education & School Sport Development Programme (YST, school partnerships, clusters and individual schools).
With 12 years as a company and with 40 years teaching experience between company founders, Andrea Mallen and Paul Flynn, we offer longevity, sustainability and a trusted brand and service.
Our online shop is used by thousands of dance teachers and dance specialists and the range of products on offer for immediate digital download is growing.
We work at top national level, but still teach on the ground floor.
