Organization Summary

Pillar 1: YOUTH EDUCATION.
– The Problem: Lack of ENGAGING & CREATIVE disability inclusion education across K-12 schools has led to an inequitable society for disabled people.
– Our Solution: Educate youth about disability inclusion. Foster empathy and inclusive leadership skills from an early age.

Pillar 2: WORLD CLASS DISABILITY INCLUSION DANCE ENTERTAINMENT.
– The Problem: Mainstream entertainment significantly lacks (intersectional) representation of disabled talent, contributing to the marginalization and underrepresentation of people with disabilities. This absence not only diminishes the visibility of disabled dancers and creatives, limiting their professional opportunities, but also perpetuates stereotypes, hinders the growth of allyship, and fails to illuminate the possibilities of disability inclusion.
– Our Solution: Dismantle disability stereotypes and demonstrate the beauty of diversity and inclusion through dance performances, creative content, storytelling, and powerful collaborations.

Pillar 3: DANCE TEACHER TRAINING.
– The Problem: Dance teachers lack the skills, education, know-how, and confidence to integrate students with disabilities into their existing programs.
– Our Solution: Equip dance educators with the skills and knowledge to more confidently integrate students with disabilities into their existing programs.

Pillar 4: COMMUNITY. COLLECTIVE LIBERATION.
– The Problem: Because of the lack of community, this leads to isolation and disconnection, which leads to a lack of disability inclusion.
– Our Solution: Cultivate a community, both online and offline, of people with disabilities, allies, and anyone who desires to work towards a more inclusive and accessible world.
