In 2020, all of us were affected by social isolation. Now each of us knows firsthand what it means to be unable to go beyond the four walls, walk in the park, go visit friends, fly to the ends of the Earth, visit shops, cafes, concerts, gyms, creative workshops. Everything that filled every day of our lives suddenly disappeared, and only this allowed us to feel the real value of what we have, but never had millions of people with disabilities living nearby.
Inclusive dance means freedom of movement, travel, communication and support, therapy and rehabilitation, creativity, development and self-realization. We open the doors to this beautiful and wonderful world and invite everyone to learn more about it or become a part of it!
