The nationwide network for the exchange of experiences and the development of contemporary dance in rural regions.

With a focus on rural areas and non-metropolitan regions, we empower and professionalize dance creators, increase their visibility along with that of the art form, and create new opportunities for participation. To achieve this, we develop formats that promote networking, engagement, and participation, address structural deficits and disadvantages, foster democratic dialogue, and enable learning through diverse exchanges of experience.
Dance, as the most physical of all art forms, is directly connected to contemporary social, political, and societal issues—making it essential everywhere, especially in places where it is less present.
