Dance is more popular as a participatory activity than football in Scotland, according to a new report published by the Federation of Scottish Theatre.

The report emphasises the success of dance in Scotland, both in terms of a participatory activity and of its professional arts companies. He also pointed out the areas where dance is lacking. In particular, although dance is now part of the curriculum for excellence, he said that there is currently no Standard Grade dance exam, while dance is offered as a Higher Grade subject in only nine secondary schools across Scotland.
