They deserve praise for all their hard work!

All participants at this year’s Congress agreed that it was a huge success. It brought new ideas to light that will be a useful guide for the continuing work of CID. Those ideas will also be helpful to the other dance organizations throughout the world. CID is a challenging endeavour. No matter what occur during the four days of this congress it was resolved by excellent team work. Just like every dance research congress, this year`s congress consisted of three forms of presentation:

Many registered participants unfortunately could not attend because they did not obtain entry visa. We can still conclude that it was a very successful Congress. It was a platform where participants managed to answer some very important questions about the current state of the dance world.  It helps to point out possible problems that may occur within the dance communities. 

I want to simply summarize the main conclusions of some of the workshops. I will also emphasize the importance of the informal conversations had during the participant free time while socializing after the formal workshops and presentations. These conclusions can be divided into three basic directions namely:

1) The need to bring couple dancing to the youth at elementary level within the school system. Moving dance to a higher level of education to promote cultural diversity.

2) The need to emphasize the importance of dance exercise therapy and other forms of treatment with the use of choreography.

3) The need for better organisation within the dance community to promote and protect the interests of dance professional world-wide.
 
My conclusion is that, this Congress proved the constant progress of the work of CID in all of its forms.  During the congress we pointed out some obstacles. Even though there are problems in the dance world, we also concluded there are many ways of solving them. We need to bring all CID Sections to work together under one platform.
 
Many thanks, once again, to all the participants. We can freely say that the main goals of the 4th International Congress have been achieved and the congress was a success.
 
Every year we look forward to this amazing event in Broward County, with some amazing international artists, Colleagues and local dance teachers. Ever since the first Congress in 2015, we have registered a lot of new members to CID-Unesco.
 
Looking forward to the Next “CID World Congress on Dance Research in Broward County FL.
