Quality assurance
The quality assurance of dance offers represents a specific focal point of Aktion Tanz.
Based on the know-how of its members coming from dance arts, dance dissemination, dance studies as well as education and further training, in the past years the association has developed the criteria bound foundation for the educational work at schools and other institutions working with children and adolescents that shall be provided for all persons working in the field of dance dissemination. The quality frameworks (only available in German) and the guideline (only available in German) are part of it. Thanks to the content reconfiguration of the association, Aktion Tanz continues its work on questions on the quality of offers in dance in regard of different age groups and their respective diverse settings.
The association is constantly reviewing in how far the existing quality frameworks could be transmitted or have to be adapted.
Further work and publications of the association on the topic of “Quality“ (all available in German only):
“Qualität konkret! Arbeitsprinzipien gelingender Vermittlung und Koordination im Tanz“ (2015).
“Tanzkunst mit geflüchteten Menschen“ (2016/2017); list of recommendations for working with dance with refugees.
Regarding the quality assurance in the context of education and further training, the association is engaged in the working group of Dachverband Tanz Deutschland i.a.
