Our Mission

The Need for Child Fitness Programs

The inspiration to start U GOT DANCE resulted from reports published by Active Healthy Kids highlighting the continuing downward spiral of fitness and activity levels among Canadian children and youth. This year’s report found little change over previous years, awarding Canada a failing grade (D) for the fourth consecutive year.

Children and youth are continuing to spend as much or more time in front of a TV or computer screen as they do engaged in physical activity. Parents, educators and government officials all agree that more programs are required to reverse this trend.

The mission of U GOT DANCE is to bring the health benefits of fitness-based dance to as many children as possible, through schools and childcare centres.
