The Dance Whistleblower

I have started this blog as an anonymous space for dancers, parents/carers, family members and friends to report or discuss incidences of unacceptable or abusive behaviour from dance teachers, coaches or instructors.

Please remember that this blog is not intended to be a source of advice or professional support and I’d advise anyone who suffers as a result of dance training to seek professional support from a counsellor or therapist.

I hope that in setting this up, we can alert people to any institutions, schools, colleges, studios, programmes or courses where archaic practices are still allowed to continue.

It will rely on honest, factual accounts from people.

Please remember that within a class/group/cohort of dancers, everyone’s experience will be different. Please respect everyones lived experiences, whether they differ to yours/your loved ones or not.

Thank you
