Dance Science research

Dance Science is an expanding area of research and study. It aims to investigate dance practice in its broadest sense, to explore areas such as training and performance, dancer health and safe-practice and the impact of dance on areas of health and wellbeing among other populations.

We are known internationally as a leader in Dance Science offering dance science education, research and clinical services for the dance sector. We were the first institution in the world to offer an MSc in Dance Science in 2001, and an MFA in Dance Science in 2016. In 2019, we offered a new BSc Dance Science programme. The Dance Science research staff are well-known researchers within the field, each with a list of academic publications and several holding national and international industry awards.
