DAZL backs #LeedsGirlCan Campaign – Improving Girls Health
Improving Girls Health through Dance #LeedsGirlCan DAZL uses dance as physical activity to engage with hundreds of young girls every week and over 15,000 since the program began. Dance can be a fantastic tool to engage young girls who maybe not interested in conventional sports/ physical activity. We at DAZL see the clear benefits of dance to everyone physical and mental health and we advocate this daily #MoveMoreDanceMore DAZL is proud to be backing the Leeds Girl Can campaign, you can see the DAZL sessions for young women across Leeds on the Leeds Girl Can website. Click on the Dance page and then click on Club like here http://www.leedsgirlscan.co.uk/dance/#whatson-clubs you can also get lots of information on other physical activities. This week we was featured as the team of the week – Leeds Girl Can Interview DAZL Dance Development Office Vicky Mawson (Please Read Below) “We’re the DAZL Diamonds, we’ve been running for ten years and we are national and regional champions, we work really hard and it’s just really important for us to get cheer dance recognised as a competitive sport. When people think of cheer dance and cheerleading they think of the film bring it on and they see cheering on football games and it’s not just about that, it takes a lot of skill and it takes a lot of physical energy you have to have a lot of stamina to do this, it’s like running a marathon in 2 1/2 mins it’s crazy. You just need to come and give it a go because you’re getting fit but in a fun way. And you learn new techniques and dance that’s good for the body. Because DAZL started off trying to get girls into physical activity that’s always been our goal and our reason for doing what we do. I think it’s great that girls can access totally different sports that they normally wouldn’t access is amazing.” Click on to this link and check out all the latest Leeds Girls Can video clips https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeFlvm4C9zDR-1V6LQJtWUw/videos below is DAZL featured on the Leeds Girl Can channel.
Slanjayvah Danza and DAZL partnership work
Slanjayvah Danza and DAZL have linked up on the #6Feet3Shoes project supported by Art Council England, Leeds Inspired, Awards For All – the project brings the company out into the community working with DAZL and other organisations. The company has been delivering Flamenco, Scottish and Contemporary dance workshops to DAZL participants 3-6yrs and their parents. They have also been working with young people aged 7-11years and the DAZL Diamonds Senior girls HIP-HOP Crew engaging with over 60 people already. The families are from across South Leeds most deprived areas and the reaction to the Slanjayvah Danza has been truly amazing. The work has been challenging and at times push the young dancers/ parents out of there comfort zones but overall the experience has been extremely fun. We aim the develop this partnership with a 12 week project starting in January which will have a intergenerational feel and have a real family focus. The project not only engages the families/ community through high quality artistic work but is improving the whole families mental and physical health through dance as physical activity. The project also encourages social interaction with parents and children bringing communities together which embeds the DAZL ethos. We are so happy to have this experience and look forward to future partnerships and collaborations across the city.
