THE INTERNATIONAL DANCE EXCHANGE (TIDE), is a global initiative for dance artists. We are dedicated to connect dancers, through their dance education, guided by the leadership and knowledge of master teachers worldwide. Our network consists of dedicated volunteers and host families, residing in 5 world regions.
We are designated by the International Dance Organization (IDO) as an official dance exchange program to promote the education of dance and fostering friendships worldwide.
International Manager: Oversees the general operation of the exchange programs. They will address any challenges with optimal solutions and work on addressing queries from the Directors. The International Manager will appoint the Regional Managers.
Regional Manager: Identifies and liaises with countries from within their region. They will appoint a National Director to promote the program to dancers in each of the countries in their region.
National Director: Promotes and pursues studios/clubs within their country to participate in TIDE program activities. It is the responsibility of both the Regional and National Director to determine the eligibility of the studio/club program application and evaluate expected standards at a world level. The National Director position can be awarded to an IDO National Member Organization, or another appointed person from that country. The Director will assist in the selection of host families from local dancers.
Artistic
Host Families: Host families will volunteer room and board, as well as ground transportation, to the international dance student in their care. We strive to involve host families who have family members as close to the same age as the dancer. Host families will only be approved after they have been vetted, including a vulnerable sector check and references are verified.
