This book is a seminal seated dance guidebook for global dance and health practitioners. Seated dance is an inclusive and diverse form of physical activity, suitable for all, regardless of age or disability.

The book offers valid advice, inspiration and a wide range of tried and tested teaching and learning approaches to help practitioners succeed in the seated dance classroom, covering all ages and settings. This book introduces a potted historical journey of seated dance and subsequently guides the professional practitioner through the critical stages of setting up professional, safe and creative seated dance sessions. Research and evidence are gathered 'in and on practice' through the author's dedicated dance career and teaching reflections as a Royal Academician of Dance (RAD) teacher and are underpinned by a theoretical background in mental health and wellbeing in education. It contains contributions by valued peers and professionals and extracts from research theorists in the field. 'Take Your Seat' is a career professional development Group-approved text (CPD) enabling the reader to claim personal and professional development points. The author places the art of seated dance at the centre of dance education, making it inclusive, diverse, accessible and justifiable in today's various dance arts and health settings.
