History of the Festival
The International Inclusive Dance Charity Festival was initiated by the Odukhotvorenie (Inspiration) Socio-cultural Animation Center in March 2013.
The Festival is a continuation of the work that the Center has done over many years around dance rehabilitation and inclusive dance. The Festival’s activities have been possible thanks to cooperation from the Foundation for the Support of Children in Challenging Living Situations; the All-Russian Society for the Disabled; the Government of Moscow; and many other organisations.
From 1 May to 3 December 2013 an international online inclusive dance competition was held, together with special competitions for artists, journalists, photographers and filmmakers and Different Lives, Equal in Dance, an international volunteer program. An exhibition entitled Synthesis of Inclusive Arts was held and the www.inclusive-dance.ru portal was created; numerous other events were also held as part of the festival.
Fifty-eight groups and dance pairs from four countries and 22 Russian regions took part in the first festival. The Festival’s Gala Concert took place on 3 December 2013 in the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater.
