𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣 | Supporting dancers beyond the stage 💃
🗣️Over the past months, we've been listening to professional dancers across Europe, and the research is still growing with every new story we receive. !
Over the past months, we've been listening to professional dancers and stakeholders across Greece, Romania, Italy, and the Netherlands, exploring the realities of career transition in the performing arts.
Every conversation, experience, and story has helped us better understand the opportunities, challenges, and support that dancers need when taking their next professional step. Thank you to everyone who shared their time, honesty, and experiences with us. 💚
💬 "I didn’t know basically myself outside of the dancing environment."
This is one of the many reflections that stayed with us throughout the research process, reminding us how deeply identity and career can be connected for professional dancers.
📢 Are you a current or former professional dancer, or do you work with dancers?
If you're based in Greece, Romania, Italy, or the Netherlands, there's still time to share your experience and help shape the tools and resources that STEP is creating for dancers across Europe.
📩 We'd love to hear from you. Get in touch at [email protected] and become part of the conversation.
