CoDa | Cultures of Dance is the Research Network for Dance Studies funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). The aim of CoDa is to build a collective platform that contributes to the development of dance studies as an academic and practice-oriented discipline on both a local and international level. CoDa stands for “Cultures of Dance” in order to acknowledge the variety of choreographic practices, scholarly approaches, and cultural backgrounds that steer the broad scope of the growing field of dance studies. In its current form, CoDa joins the forces of several Belgian partners with a range of international research units from across Europe that are recognized for their excellence in dance scholarship.
