Caroline Miller of Dance UK praising the Harlequin philanthropy said, "The £30,000 generous donation from British Harlequin is another major step towards the creation of the UK’s first National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science and follows at £80,000 pledge from Jerwood Charitable Trust two years ago. The vision for the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science is that all top level dancers will have access to the high quality, comprehensive, dance specific healthcare and dance science support services they need, on a par with those enjoyed by elite athletes and dancers in the largest ballet companies. It is envisaged that this could be achieved through shared expertise and a network of multidisciplinary hub-sites which will collectively form a National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science. This major initiative has been created by an innovative partnership of Dance UK, Trinity Laban, University of Wolverhampton and the Jerwood Centre for Prevention and Treatment of Dance Injuries at Birmingham Royal Ballet, with advice from the Olympic Medical Institute.
