Estonian Dance Council (EDC) brings together the unions, associations, vocational schools, universities and performance centers that support, enable and empower the Estonian dance field.

EDC has two primary goals we wish to ensure in Estonia:

  • comprehensive development of the Estonian dance field as an independent and recognized part of the Estonian cultural scene;
  • people who create and work in this field are professional, deservedly paid and recognized.
