CDET works with Harlequin to promote the use of safe flooring in dance and musical theatre teaching and performance

Harlequin Floors, world leaders in advanced technology flooring for dance, has been named as a sponsor of the Recognised Awards Scheme offered by the Council for Dance Education and Training (CDET) – the quality assurance and membership body for the UK’s professional dance and musical theatre industries. Providing independent advice and guidance for dancers and parents alike – CDET has proved a perfect partner for Harlequin Floors. The two organisations share similar values and principles with both demonstrating an on-going commitment to raising the standards of education and facilities for UK dancers. The CDET’s Recognised Awards are a set of industry-designed standards for pre-vocational performing arts schools and teachers committed to upholding safe and professional standards of practice. Awarded to schools, teachers and instructors, these reflect Harlequin’s own dedication to improving health and safety in the dance sector. By referring to CDET’s list of Recognised Schools, Teachers and Instructors, parents and dancers are able to make an informed choice when selecting suitable dance and musical theatre education provision in the UK. Designed specifically to meet the needs of dancers and performers, Harlequin floors provide the best dance and performance floors in the industry. Used in dance studios, theatres and educational establishments across the globe, Harlequin floors have recently been installed at numerous dance schools across the UK, including Thanet School of Dance and Amanda Restell Academy.
