Asia–Pacific Channels is the bi-annual newsletter of the World Dance Alliance (WDA), contributed to by Ausdance National in collaboration with MyDance Alliance in Malaysia. It profiles dance events and activities from WDA members throughout the Asia–Pacific region.
Over many years we produced and published Channels as a contribution to the World Dance Alliance and dance in our region. It helped us to build the international networks that provide professional development opportunities for Australian dance artists.
Our work in contributing to this publication helps us contribute to the World Dance Alliance's goals, which are:
- To promote the recognition, development and mutual understanding of all forms of dance.
- To facilitate communication and exchange among dance individuals, institutions and organisations interested in dance.
- To provide a forum for discussion of matters relating to dance.
- To encourage and support the research, education, criticism, creation and performance of dance.
- To liaise, coordinate and participate in activities with other dance organisations in the world.
