EXTERNAL REGULATIONS TO THE DANCE INDUSTRY IN UK
The Royal Academy of Dance, one of the best and notorious academies in London, has a list of special duties and regulations that it need to respect in conducting its business.These regulations have been imposed on this academy by an external governmental body .
In fact ,the Academy is a member of the Council of Dance Education and Training , the national standards body of the professional dance industry., the National Dance Teacher's Association the Foundation for Community Dance which is the UK development agency for dancers . These bodies have the function to operate as analysing that the Royal Academy is working properly following the rules and the regulations fairly.
“The Royal Academy of Dance is validated for education and designed as an awarding organisation by external agencies and as a result to fulfil its obligations specifically regarding the Equal Opportunities and Race Equality policies in the process of selecting students. The Academy has a general duty under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 as amended by the Equality Act 2006 to promote equality between men and women to eliminate unlawful sex determinations”.
The Royal Academy has the duty to produce a Gender Equality Scheme in connection to meet the gender equality objectives which are effective policies and practices in order to ensure gender equality in the workforce and the delivery of it service.
Another rule that I found to be really interesting is referred to as 9.2 and it explicitly states that “There will be wider consultation involving employees, students other institutions and the local and wider community. The Royal Academy has to make sure that these national policies against any form of discrimination have been adopted by using a variety of tools”. One of this ways is by consulting with employees or with teachers regarding this issue and analysing their opinion about the conduct of the Academy and investigating whether there were any cases relating to discrimination or racism among students and teachers.
Another national regulation that I think it to be really important when we talk about dance in the UK regards the protection and assistance that these academies have to give to disable students or students that need more assistance and help while they are being educated in the academy . These rules concerning students suffering from psychological or physical problems have been regulated by the Policy Statement on Promoting Disability Equality.
“ The Royal Academy of Dance has a general duty under the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 an aims not to discriminate against disable people including employees, potential employees, students, potential students, examination candidates clients, and other customers”.

INTERNAL REGULATIONS
Apart from satisfying the regulations imposed by the national governmental bodies, dance companies are allowed to create and personify their own set of rules . One of the best examples can be found in the regulation guidelines of English National Ballet School. Saccharine to the “SCHOOL TERMS AND CONDITIONS” students are expected to follow these rules including:Fees :
1)Acceptance is subject to the parent or guardians acceptance of fees. For some students this may tale the form of a UK Dance and Dram Award or a private scholarship.
2)Fees should be paid by the first day of each term for UK students and in full by the first day of the academic year for international students.
3) Progression top the second year of the course is dependent on the student's successful completion of year 1 dance. While the School will make every effort to facilitate the students progress form the School into a professional dance company it doesn't undertake to find employment for student at English National Baller or any other organisation .
4)The withdrawl from the School, a full term notice is mandatory. In fact, if you fail in giving the Academy some warning you will be obliged to pay terms fees in lieu of notification whether or not you are receiving financial assistance from any source.
5) There are some other important rules that need to be taken into consideration , especially regarding non European students. This Academy stated that “non European students will be billed at the start of each year for their annual fees. Where there is a problem with funding the school will provide with seeking sources from somewhere else".
