Dance Data Project® Releases Resources Aimed at Highlighting Best Practices for Keeping Dancers Safe from Sexual Assault and Harassment
Dance Data Project® today announced the release of two tools that provide ballet and dance schools, as well as students, parents, and instructors with specific measures to help students and professional dancers to recognize and prevent sexual harassed or physical abuse: the first is a checklist of safety measures; the second is a one-stop resource detailing the reporting around and work being done in the US and globally to address sexual abuse and harassment in the dance and allied performance fields, sports and youth-oriented not for profits. In addition, DDP released a “DDP Talks To”… interview with Emma Lister and Zoë Ashe-Brown, who, alongside Lister’s Makeshift Company and MOVERS SHAKERS MAKERS podcast, conducted a wide ranging survey in September 2020 on mental health in ballet.
