The Dance Pedagogy Interest Group of the Nordic Forum for Dance Research, NOFOD, organizes a gathering in the format of an online seminar for dance scholars and practitioners on Tuesday 21.1. at 13-15 (SVE/NO/DAN) / 14-16 (FIN).
The purpose of the gathering is to bring together scholars and practitioners in dance education, enhancing Nordic collaboration through a platform for networking and discussion. This seminar is intended to establish a framework for the continuous organization of future gatherings for the interest group.
