Financial support for medical costs

 

The Dance Professionals Fund (DPF) aims to support people in the dance world throughout their lives.  DPF is working in partnership with NIDMS to improve access to specialist healthcare for dance professionals. If you are a professional dancer, choreographer or dance teacher who has been working within any dance genre for a year or more, you may be eligible for financial help towards your medical costs.

​

If you require private health treatment but are experiencing a significant delay within the NIDMS NHS dance injury clinics, you can request help from DPF. Treatment offered will normally be six sessions of private physiotherapy.

If you require private mental health care, you can request help from DPF. Treatment offered will normally be six sessions of private counselling.

​

Please note, physio and counselling will be agreed following your DPF arranged free assessment from BAPAM. For all treatment, you must have funding approved prior to commencement.

​

For established dance professionals, DPF can cover the cost of urgent surgery.
