Dance Festivals Network Europe

Launched at the Big Pulse Reflections conference in November 2024, the newly formed Dance Festivals Network Europe (DanceFestNetwork) is a coalition of European dance festivals dedicated to advancing contemporary dance’s role in building a sustainable, inclusive and innovative future.
