Dance Forum 2026

Join Dance/USA and colleagues across the ecosystem for a morning of connection, conversation, and collective learning. This year’s Forum will center dialogue around presenting and touring dance, inviting participants to share what’s top of mind and exchange insights with peers. Open to all dance professionals, the Forum is part of the Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) pre-conference events. Registration is free and open to both APAP attendees and the broader dance ecosystem.

You do not need to be a Dance/USA member or registered APAP Conference-goer to attend. You DO need to create a free account here to register for the event in advance.
