Response to the Child Protection Act 2000 In order to facilitate learning and development as a dancer, it is sometimes helpful to have a ‘hands on’ approach, this is for beneficial reasons e.g. to help alignment, posture and placing.  All touch is unambiguous and professional.  The intention behind all touch is to enhance the quality of learning. If you are not happy for staff of HTDC to continue in this professional manner, please let us know immediately
