It is a time to take stock, dream and share concerns, away from the daily stresses of running a dance organisation.<br \/>\nThe aims of the Positioning Ballet Helsinki Conference are to support the continued professional development of artistic leaders, to ensure best practice and to nurture better and stronger relationships between training institutions and companies. This Conference offers a unique opportunity to support advocacy in the training and transition of young dancers to the profession through learning and the sharing of knowledge, current thinking and research, resources, repertoire and other issues.<br \/>\nKey to these discussions will be the question of how to proactively ensure inclusivity, equality and access of opportunity for the dance form. Participants will share successes in this area but also identify key challenges and seek out solutions that can be shared globally,<br \/>\nto ensure companies and schools reflect the communities from which they are developing talent and future audiences.<br \/>\nThe relevance of ballet is often questioned in today\u2019s fast paced world, and the Conference aims to encourage openness to embracing change, different behaviours, diversity and more inclusive conversations with young dancers \u2013 whether they follow a career on stage or another path. A full list of guest speakers will be announced in the coming months.<br \/>\nRegistration for the Positioning Ballet Conference is via the link below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.positioningballet.com\/event-details\/positioning-ballet-conference-companies-schools-5-7-june-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Positioning Ballet Conference-Companies &amp; Schools-Helsinki 5-7-June 2026<\/a><br \/>\nFor more details contact Susannah Burke contact@positioningballet.com<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
