Statements from DSA and DSA's Board of Directors

Since 2020, The Dance Studies Association has issued statements of solidarity and support for a variety of reasons. The Board of Directors has often written 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.
