Aerowaves is a hub for dance discovery in Europe. We identify the most promising new work by emerging dance artists and then promote it through cross-border performances. Aerowaves' network of partners in 33 countries enables these younger choreographers to bring brand new dance to brand new audiences.

Organised since 2011, our annual festival Spring Forward provides a platform for the most vibrant and promising European choreographers to show their work to dance professionals and local audiences. The festival takes place in a different city each year and is live streamed to reach dance fans across the world.

Aerowaves Springback Academy offers a unique chance for emerging dance writers to be mentored by professional critics during an international festival. It takes place during Aerowaves Spring Forward. Springback Academy experiments with forms of dance writing and adds an assured quality of debate to dance criticism online.

In 2018 we have launched Springback Magazine, place to read about, watch and hear about dance. A place where you can feel the pulse of contemporary movements across Europe, through opinion, commentary and reflection. A place to explore dance, and experience dance.

From 2017, Aerowaves is supported for four years by the European Union through a Creative Europe Platforms award.
