Company activities and impact

PoP Moves: An International Research Group for Popular Dance and Performance is a global network of dance scholars, researchers, and practitioners based in the UK. Our aim is to create spaces for dialogue, collaboration, and transformative action around popular dance through company and community events. The network became incorporated as a CIC in 2024. During the financial year 2024-2025, the network’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: Pilot of groundbreaking popular dance mentorship program in the UK, a partnership with Performing Arts Community Engagement, Kingston University, where PoP Moves paired six mentees with six mentors, matching skills-searching-for with skills-offered in order to effect change in the world through popular dance. The program, grounded in compassion, care, and community, facilitated developing popular dance projects (creative practice, oral history, documentation, ethnographic, and/or community-led initiative) worked to deepen strategies for navigating the UK dance-sector and academia from a popular dance perspective; Online Symposium, “Social Movements: Convergences of Popular Dance, Justice, and Media,” joined by presenters and attendees globally. This event presented digital panels, roundtables, and workshops, all galvanized around the centrality of dance to civic life; Ongoing publication in development that addresses popular dance histories, including substantial essays by eleven new and established researchers and practitioners. This publication will be read internationally and directly advances PoP Moves’ core aims, impacting a broad audience in a publication with a 31% acceptance rate.
