Dance UK hits out at universities minister David Willetts
Professional members’ organisation Dance UK has hit out at universities minister David Willetts, who has suggested that A-level dance should be given fewer points than “classic” subjects in the university admissions procedure.
Willetts made the claims in an interview with the Daily Telegraph published today – the article reads: “He suggested that the ‘classic A-levels’ traditionally valued by top universities should be given higher ratings by UCAS and in school-by-school league tables published by the government every year.
“He said newer subjects such as dance, photography and media studies were valuable to students who wanted to specialise in those areas but it must be acknowledged that they are ‘not core academic subjects’.”
Caroline Miller, Dance UK director, has accused both MPs of being narrow-minded in their approach to the subject.
She commented: “Both politicians reveal a narrowness of thinking which is potentially damaging for ensuring a rich curriculum is available to all young people in Britain. We need a diversity of subjects in education to meet the diversity of our young people and to create a balanced society.”

Depends. Theres plenty of pcales that have really good technique to teach, but take the it’s here, if they want it they’ll come approach to marketing. Then theres a bunch of McDojo’s that will give you a new belt (oh yeah..yay! :/) for 30 bucks and an hour of testing . If you can get some good teachers, and have enough capitol to cover space, equipment, mats, gear, etc, then go for it. Just make sure you have a good plan for your business, and for marketing. Just throwing this out there, but MMA seems to be growing in popularity. Muay Thai and BJJ it seems, most likely because of the abundance of it in the UFC and the growing popularity of the UFC along with out MMA groups.Good Luck-Joe

@sexyadriana Well that is true. He may be burning the exsecs calories to be able to stay lean, but if the calories that he is taking in are bad calories then it can harm his body even though he is in shape . Eating a good diet will give you even MORE energy to be able to complete grueling workouts to the best of your potential which can indirectly make you even more fit because you can work harder because you feel even better.
