Dance Salons discussion
Following on from the recently published Dance UK article, here you have the opportunity to contribute to the DANCE SALONS discussion around the current state of the dance sector:
- What is the most important issue that dance faces at the present time?
- What is the best way to improve the connection between the dance artform and the wider world?
- Has dance been made stronger by unifying all dance forms and activities under the single banner of ‘dance’ or would it be better to emphasise the differences in our diversity - and if so how?
- Do we need high profile spokespeople for dance - or is there another way we can make our presence felt with decision makers /in the media?

Thank you Gill. This is an excellent article drawing together some fabulous thinkers and putting them so succinctly into a frame of reference relevant to dance practice. It unpicks terms that get thrown about but that are highly relevant to acknowledging the importance of what dance artists do and are about. The feeling I get is that making this more visible in print is so hard yet totally worth while on order to wake up politicians and funders who are so many light years away from the experiences you talk about so well and with such clarity. Well done! Kate x
