[21] Launching the season at Sadlers Wells, he said: “I’m here because dance, song, art in its broadest sense, matter hugely to me and I know how much the BBC can offer the arts world and also our viewers when it comes to doing something really bold … The BBC acting as a creator but also an enabler, working with some of the really talented people in the arts and culture more broadly. It’s one of those things I love, which is all parts of the BBC coming together to do bigger things. This is about putting artists centre stage.”This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen.

But I don’t feel our mandate is to try to persuade or popularise particular modes of art. The BBC isn’t there to try to engineer social change and attitudes, what we are there to do is to provide things that people have a real passion and an interest in.” a b Thorpe, Vanessa (29 April 2007). "See what they've been keeping under their hats". The Guardian/ The Observer . Retrieved 26 October 2019. She was echoed by Kenneth Tharp, chief executive of The Place who will also sit on the judging panel. Tharp said: “I believe we are fast becoming a dancing nation. One of the wonderful things about dancing in the UK is its richness and diversity and by putting the four categories of dance – ballet, contemporary dance, hip hop and south Asian – on equal footing, the BBC is helping to raise the bar of how dance is seen and understood within the UK’s diverse cultural landscape. I hope this year will help us all to appreciate that lives without song and dance would be very, very dull indeed.”Cassian Harrison, channel editor of BBC Four, said he wanted this year to make a strong statement about the BBC’s commitment to the arts.
