"Dance is an important component of the cultural life of every society. In utilizing movement, the most honest form of human communication, professional dancers play a vital role in reflecting society to itself and others. Dancers also contribute economically through their work... Because society benefits form the dancers' art during their dance career and from their activities after transition, society should assist in the transition process."

Declaration of Lausanne, May 7, 1995
"Dancers constitute an important resource for society. Their passion and dedication to their art are valuable skills... transferable to various other fields, both within and outside the artistic world:
• the dancer is a competitive, goal-orientated, hard-working, disciplined professional with a high level of motivation;
• the dancer has an engaging presence and stamina;
the dancer is skilled in working effectively both independently and as part of a team."
