Ausdance network

We lead a network of Ausdance organisations that deliver integrated programs across the country, anticipating industry issues and providing innovative and inclusive responses.

Ausdance National now operates as a voluntary organisation, and continues its work through its own National projects and programs. Read about our contributions to the Australian dance sector. 

Through advocacy, Ausdance National aims to:

• Provide a national voice for dance and dance education.
• Identify and promote diverse forms of dance and dance practice.
• Encourage access to and understanding of dance.
• Foster national and international links with dance and dance-related organisations.
