Asia Network for Dance (AND+) is a network dedicated to connecting, developing and empowering contemporary practice in dance within Asia. Its missions are to share knowledge and information, expand connections for dance professionals and to strengthen the visibility of dance within and beyond Asia. The network is steered by a core group: a collective of passionate dance professionals who are committed to connect, to collaborate, to share and to lead the network’s vision and mission. AND+ is not a membership organisation and this network functions without hierarchical structure. It launched in Hong Kong in May 2018 during West Kowloon Cultural District Authority’s Producer Network Meeting & Forum.
