How to Make Dance Accessible

Possible Elements

Physically Integrated Dance

Physically integrated dance combines dancers of different abilities. Physically integrated dance is performed by people with and without disabilities, together on the same stage or as part of the same piece of choreography.

Flexibility

Be as flexible as possible with groups including disabled dancers regarding how much of the day / platform they engage with, arrival / departure time, etc.  

If some groups arrive later, ensure there is a staff member / well-briefed volunteer to welcome and brief them  

Allow longer for groups with disabled dancers to do technical run-throughs  

Consider whether early starts are really necessary for all groups (especially after a travel day / performance evening)  

Build in relaxation / recovery and /or informal networking opportunities so groups can mingle more and manage energy levels
