Project overview

The Dance On Ensemble showcases the artistic excellence of dancers over 40. Amidst public debates about ageing societies and demographic transition, the Dance On initiative highlights the value of age in society and shows that age is no handicap – not even in dance.

DanceMap is a pioneering heritage initiative runing for three years and aims to develop a cross-sectoral strategy for safeguarding and promoting Europe’s rich dance heritage. The DanceMap consortium has developed an integrated, cross-sectoral approach that incorporates research, data science, artistic practice, outreach, advocacy and policymaking.

Dance On, Pass On, Dream On is a large-scale cooperation project funded for four years by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. In the cooperation project eleven renowned dance institutions in ten European countries address ageism in the dance sector and in society. With Bureau Ritter as lead partner, Dance On and the Dance On Ensemble are at the very heart of this European collaboration.
