Abstract

The twelve princesses may have been dancing secretly for years, with Further Education teachers publicly acquiescing to being locked in within policy and managerial confines, while persisting in doing their ‘own thing’ surreptitiously, but this clandestine dancing must come to an end. It is high time the princesses defy the king, own up to their subversive activity and out themselves as the great dancers they are. It is time we restore our autonomy and voice, rather than persisting in living this double life that is keeping us under the metaphorical lock and key, and eroding our professionalism. The king will never allow the princesses out to dance and we need to stop waiting for his permission. It’s gone past the time of subversion. It’s high time for revolution.
