The primary challenge in using dance for peacebuilding is the lack of trained facilitators who can effectively use dance to address the root causes of conflict and promote peace.

Cultural differences can pose a challenge in using dance for peacebuilding because different dance styles may be seen as offensive or disrespectful, dance may be seen as a frivolous activity that is not appropriate for addressing serious issues, and dance may be seen as a form of cultural appropriation.

Political instability can pose a challenge in using dance for peacebuilding because dance may be seen as a threat to the status quo, dance may be used to promote political agendas, and dance may be used to recruit new members to armed groups.

A lack of funding can pose a challenge in using dance for peacebuilding because it may be difficult to organize and implement dance programs, it may be difficult to train facilitators, and it may be difficult to purchase necessary materials.

Strategies for overcoming the challenges of using dance for peacebuilding include training facilitators in how to use dance effectively for peacebuilding, developing culturally sensitive dance programs, and working with local communities to ensure that dance programs are relevant and appropriate.
