European Dancehouse Network is a network of trust and collaboration between 40+ European dancehouses sharing a common vision regarding the development of dance art across borders.

SOMETHING WE CAN’T DO ALONE
EDN believes that dance art is valued as an integral component of our every- day lives and culture, creatively contributing to the wellbeing of society and movement in itself, as the fundamental tissue of relatedness and empathy.
