Dance Network Association (dna) is a dance organisation that enables people to live more connected, joyful and aspirational lives through dance. Dancing with dna provides opportunities for people to improve their confidence and physical wellbeing, nurtures creativity and independent thinking and enhances friendships through social interaction.

We seek to:

• increase the opportunities available for everyone in the community to engage in dance

• encourage happy and healthy lifestyles through dance activity by promoting self-esteem, confidence, mobility and general fitness 

• widen aspirations by providing both performance opportunities and the opportunity to be part of a community audience

• enhance the quality of dance provision across the county by offering support in schools and through professional development programmes and qualifications

• build a coherent and progressive dance future for Essex and its neighbouring counties

• (above all) have fun dancing!
