I am interested in whether anyone knows if there are articles, research papers or maybe books that deal with youths who participate in physical activity (or even better; dance / classical ballet) and experience a great sense of community and that they as participants are ‘equal’ (maybe since they use similar uniforms, that all working toward one common goal, etc.). Would appreciate it if there is any?
Maria, I realise that your need for an answer might have passed because you posed the question a few months ago, but it matches up with the theme of my PhD thesis which is available on this website: "Community-based creative dance for adolescents and their feelings of social wellbeing". Also, if you search the YDance website (Scottish Youth Dance), you might find details of their Free to Dance programme which they ran for teenage girls who had dropped out of regular exercise and P.E. It was community-based, not school-based. it is the subject of one of the chapters in a forthcoming publication which has just been submitted to OUP (I am one of the co-editors). It will hopefully be published later this year.
