Dancing was and is a form of resistance. The symposium is a rich event that includes lectures, debates, expositions, videos and workshops. Next to scholars, we are focusing especially on dance professionals and policy makers who work with young people. In this way we try to reach dance students, who are the future of dance.<br /><br /><img src="/_contentimages/2014-04-06-19-55-04.DansenSlavernij.png" alt="" width="575" /></div></br></br></img></br>
