National College for Community Dance Update

December 2009


Welcome to our new look National College for Community Dance Update, which is dedicated to informing you of developments as they happen.

This is one of a series of new targeted e-newsletters that the Foundation for Community Dance is introducing over the next few months, others include Continuing Professional Development; Health and Wellbeing; London 2012 and Disability.



FCD developing professional standards
As part of the development of the National College, FCD are taking a lead in supporting the Dance Training and Accreditation Project (DTAP) to develop core professional standards for community dance which will be applicable for all dance with people. Read more...

Professional Code of Conduct
The Professional Code of Conduct is now a significant part of the professional memberships that FCD offers and Professional Members who wish to display the FCD logo and align themselves with the organisation are required to sign a copy of the code of conduct. To read the Professional Code of Conduct click here. To find out about membership click here.

Members Networking Events
We are currently using our Members Networking Events as an opportunity to initiate discussion and thought among members about the values by which they deliver their dance work and encourage them them to personalise their Professional Code of Conduct. This subsequently supports our members to articulate their values more clearly to their clients. To find out about membership click here.

Seminars
These are a new addition to the National College, and are valuable assets to participants' continuing professional development portfolios. They give opportunities to delve deeper into topics that are of current interest to dancers delivering in community settings. The seminar 'touring' alongside our Members Networking Events over the next few months is The Importance of Touch, led by Miranda Tufnell, with input from partner artists.

Tell us about your courses
If you are a centre or organisation that regularly provides CPD and runs short courses that could be equivalent or complementary to the courses run by National College please do get in touch. We can help you to advertise your regular courses and to place them in a context and future framework for accreditation if they do not already have it. Send information to Lisa Craddock, Programme Manager, Professional Development: lisa@communitydance.org.uk
