The arts have a crucial role in empowering young people with special needs through diverse dance initiatives. Inclusive pedagogy that integrates all students into rich, equitable, and just dance programmes within education frameworks is occurring alongside enabling projects by community groups and in the professional dance world, where many high-profile choreographers actively seek opportunities to work across diversity to inspire creativity.

Access and inclusion are increasingly the essence of projects for disenfranchised and traumatised youth who find creative expression, freedom, and hope through dance. Dance, Access and Inclusion foregrounds dance for young people with special needs and presents best practice scenarios in schools, communities, and the professional sphere.

International perspectives come from Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Timor Leste, the UK, and the USA.

Sections include:

  • Inclusive dance pedagogy
  • Equality, advocacy, and policy
  • Changing practice for dance education
  • Community dance initiatives
  • Professional integrated collaborations
