DAZL is a city wide dance & health charity which aims to improve health & wellbeing of disadvantaged & vulnerable children & young people aged 3 - 25 years through dance activity in Leeds. DAZL targets children & young people who lack access to positive activities or who are at risk of sedentary lifestyles. DAZL works within youth culture, starting with what young people enjoy which has manifested itself in dance styles like Street Dance, Cheerdance, Contemporary and Break dance styles etc.

Engagement in DAZL's dance activity improves mental health, physical health and well being for young people in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Leeds. DAZL also improved the family unit and enables all generations to come together and celebrate their achievements through dance and performances. DAZL's work doesn't focus solely on obesity but on wider issues, such as community development and cohesion.

By developing dance skills and through performing to audiences, young people build transferable skills such as confidence, a sense of self-worth and positive body image. For the young people DAZL targets this activity can be a first step towards a healthier lifestyle. DAZL has created many youth dance groups, after school programmes and intensive projects including NEET/YOS/Disability. DAZL has worked with over 4000 in the last year.
