DANCE TRAINING ACCREDITATION PROJECT COMPOSITION OF MANAGEMENT & WORKING GROUPS

Executive Chair Graham Devlin
Lead Organisation Foundation for Community Dance
Project Manager Catherine Willmore

DTAP’s work is driven by a management group comprising ten national dance development organisations. The group meets approximately bi-monthly. Development of DTAP’s separate work packages is driven by specialist working groups - one for the Professional Standards, one for the Qualification - who report to the management group. In addition, the Professional Standards work package has assembled five advisory groups of specialists who are feeding into the development of standards in specialist areas (children & young people, older adults, disabled, criminal justice, dance & health).
