The numbers also show that ADE is for every market and to highlight that, this year shined the spotlight on Morocco and China also held a special pavilion with lectures, forums and debates for professionals working in the dance industry to present themselves in.

ADE will look at the development of further pavilions for countries, known form Biënnale, as the next logical step of the event as the industry has grown internationally and as a result become mixed with many different genres.
