New Forum For Dance Information

Squall 12, Spring 1996, pg. 11.

A new organisation has been set up to provide a forum for organisations committed to the welfare of those attending dance clubs, events and free parties.

The Dance Information Network held its launch meeting in February in central London. Guest speakers present included the Metropolitan Police, the Association of London Government, Lifeline and the Exodus Collective, and it was attended by a wide variety of organisations including club managers and drug outreach workers.

The Dance Information Network says its aim is to place the welfare of the dancer first, providing a “forum that recognises the positive side of dance culture” with “an important role in promoting a more accurate and optimistic picture which reflects the confidence, creativity and vibrancy of young people attending these events”.

Here’s to that.
