Statements from DSA and DSA's Board of Directors

Since 2020, The Dance Studies Association has been regularly issuing statements of solidarity and support for a variety of reasons. The Board of Directors will often write these statements collectively. There have been other moments when a DSA member, group of members or a Working Group have volunteered to write a statement. We welcome the opportunity to support and draw attention to the many diverse interests of our international membership. The Board is currently working on ratifying a procedural policy for the drafting and approval of future solidarity statements that, given the state of our world,  will continue to be necessary.
