Step into Dance is an inclusive dance programme for schools and youth groups in London and Essex[1][2] The programme is run by the Royal Academy of Dance and funded by the Jack Petchey Foundation.[3]

Step into Dance began in 2006 after Jack Petchey approached the RAD with an idea to set up an extra-curricular dance programme for young people in London.[4] Initially targeting particular boroughs in London, Step into Dance launched with a pilot of 30 schools. By 2015/2016, 200 schools were participating.[5]

Step into Dance is one of the Jack Petchey Foundation's flagship projects.[6] As of July 2016 the Foundation had donated over 3 million pounds to the programme and over 30 thousand students have participated.[7]

In March 2014, Step into Dance launched its Young Ambassador Scheme.[8][9][10]
