Dachverband Tanz Deutschland was the sponsor of the pilot project "Exploitation and Export Promotion in the Performing Arts Market - Focus on Dance," funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM). The goal of the program was to strengthen the visibility of contemporary dance produced in Germany, specifically by supporting networking activities. Funding was provided for participation in dance fairs, platforms and festivals in Germany, Europe and internationally, as well as for coaching and the establishment of a media presence for German dance ensembles via Internet portals and websites.
