European Dance Development Network (EDN) functions as an umbrella organisation and international connector, currently representing 28 member countries. The network raises awareness of the distinctive nature of contemporary dance with the aim of strengthening the development of the sector across Europe.

A core focus of EDN is capacity building, which provides a solid foundation for knowledge sharing and professional growth. This strengthens the dance ecosystem by promoting collaboration and the exchange of experience among its member organisations.

EDN also works strategically with actors beyond the established dance field to create new connections and expand the reach of the art form.

Through collective effort, the network strives for a vibrant and sustainable European dance landscape that enriches society and inspires its citizens.

By presenting dance that moves and provokes, enchants and transforms, EDN contributes to pushing boundaries and opening new horizons for the role of contemporary dance in Europe.

Together, we strive towards a vibrant and sustainable European dance landscape that enriches society and inspires its citizens. By presenting artistic work that stirs and challenges, enchants and transforms, EDN helps push boundaries and open new horizons for contemporary dance in Europe.
