About Dans Veilig

Dans Veilig was established as an Alliance to collaborate with partners, involved organizations, dancers, and experts to promote social safety within the dance sector. The Alliance was formed in 2023 following the publication of the Verinorm report Schaduwdansen (Shadow Dancing), which investigated transgressive behavior in the dance sector. In response to the findings and recommendations in this report, various parties joined forces to implement the recommendations.

Collaborating for a socially safe sector

The POS (Platform of Entrepreneurial Sports Providers) has been designated by the Ministries of VWS and OCW to serve as the initiator for the implementation of the recommendations. To achieve a cultural shift, it is essential to unite the fragmented dance landscape. So far, fifteen (umbrella) organizations from across the dance sector have joined Dans Veilig.

Together with dancers and involved organizations, Dans Veilig works in various expert groups to develop structural solutions for implementing the recommendations from the report.

Mission

A socially safe dance sector is the norm. Cross-boundary behavior has no place anywhere, not even in the dance sector.

Vision

Bringing the dance sector together, making it socially safer, and thus contributing to connecting and making people happy through dance.
