Exercise, Movement and Dance

The Exercise Movement and Dance Partnership (EMDP) is the Sport England lead National Governing Body (NGB) for exercise, movement and dance. It is a not for profit organization dedicated to the development of exercise, movement and dance provision throughout England and the U.K.

EMDP’s vision is to have ‘More people enjoying health and well-being through exercise, movement and dance – for life’.

Enjoying Exercise, Movement and Dance

EMDP member organisations have regular classes and events taking place in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight that are open to EMD Teachers, participants and interested members of the public. Activities on offer vary between month and season but range from regular dance classes, to opportunities to learn to teach movement and dance. These member organisation experiences offer great ways to keep fit, be social and have fun at the same time!

Details of local events can be found on the EMDP website.

The Dance Champions website creates a one-stop shop window for dance providers and the general public, signposting people to a whole host of dance opportunities in their local area.

Teacher Training

EMDP offers a variety of accredited movement and dance training courses which will equip students to teach adults, children and young people, older adults and chair based classes. EMDP also works with other movement and dance disciplines to offer a wider variety of training courses. For details, visit the teacher training area of the EMDP website.
