Inclusion is at the heart of our 2024-2025 theme year. Through this programme, Quand on Danse wants to highlight the benefits of dance for all people, whatever their differences, disorders or physical condition. We firmly believe that dance can be a powerful vehicle for health, well-being and a sense of belonging.
Through a series of innovative projects, we aim to prove that dance can be inclusive and beneficial to the health of all people, whether they are suffering from disorders, illnesses or facing the effects of ageing. In 2024, we have already launched some initiatives, and this theme year will continue until October 2025, with landmark events such as our Annual Symposium ‘Inclusion and Belonging in Dance for Health’.
In October 2024, we organised a training course dedicated to dance professionals, to provide them with the tools they need to teach dance in an adapted and inclusive way. Taught by Cécile Martinez, this course enabled participants to discover specific approaches to teaching dance to people with special needs. This programme was a key step in our aim to promote dance as an activity accessible to all, regardless of disability or physical condition.
Why is dance a lever for inclusion and health?
Dance is a universal language that knows no barriers. Whether you're young or old, in good health or suffering from physical or mental problems, dance allows everyone to express themselves freely and feel part of a community. Through movement, everyone can develop their self-confidence, personal expression and physical and emotional well-being.
In 2024-2025, our aim is to demonstrate the extent to which dance can be a vehicle for inclusion, enabling individuals to reconnect with their bodies, forge social links and feel part of a group, whatever their condition.
Stay connected: our evolving projects
The projects mentioned above are just the beginning. The Dance and Inclusion theme year is constantly evolving, and we will continue to keep you informed of new initiatives as they emerge. Our actions aim to make dance a tool that is accessible to everyone, whether they want to discover a new form of expression, improve their health or encourage inclusion in society.
