Male Dance Instructor Faces Allegations Of S3xual Assault Against Five Female Students During College Warm-Up

A male professional dancer stands accused of allegedly sexually assaulting five female artists during a single warm-up session for a routine at a college, as detailed in court proceedings.

Nathan Goodman, 36, a graduate from the BRIT School, faces allegations of inappropriate touching towards the women at a dance school located in central London.

According to Prosecutor Jonathan Bryan, “Mr. Goodman is a dancer and on April 17 last year, he assisted the choreographer with a number of dances in what is described as a warm-up session.” During this session, it is claimed that Goodman inappropriately touched five of the dancers.

Bryan emphasized, “This was an abuse of trust. He was in a position of trust over the dancers he was assisting.”

Goodman has denied five counts of sexual assault related to April 17 and one similar charge concerning an incident on April 4 last year.

Judge David Richards scheduled his trial for April 22 of the following year at Inner London Crown Court, expressing regret for the lengthy delay, attributing it to the workload of the courts.

Goodman was granted conditional bail with strict conditions. He is prohibited from contacting any member of the associated dance company or any of the alleged victims. Additionally, he is instructed not to work with any female dancer without a chaperone and refrain from choreographing or dancing with any female dancer involving physical contact.

Further legal proceedings await Goodman, including a case management hearing on September 20 and a pre-trial review on February 21 of the following year.
