Get Scotland Dancing [GSD] is a Scottish Government policy and one of the Legacy 2014 programmes. The initiative is led by Creative Scotland and the programme is a component of ‘Culture 2014’ the nationwide programme connecting people and communities to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. It aims to encourage more people to get active through participating in dance.
The purpose of the literature review is to provide an overview of relevant reports and statistical publications, summarise patterns of participation in dance activity, motivations for and barriers to participation and evidence of links between dance activity and health and well-being outcomes.
