Let's Dance!
Cumbria County Council has created a wide range of new opportunities for young people across Cumbria to learn and perform dance.
Let’s Dance, a project which has been operating in some districts since October 2006, has been funded by Sport England, Cumbria’s borough and County councils, Youth Work in Cumbria Partnership, Arts Council North West, and local School Sports Partnerships. The opportunities are all of high quality and are highly subsidised to ensure access for all.
