Disability and dance strategy

1 December 2010 The International Day of Disabled People is to be marked in Wellington on December 4 with the launch of the New Zealand Disability and Dance Strategy.

The document provides a blueprint for the development of dance participation, creation and performance for disabled people, as well as identifying the areas for strengthening and development across the broad national and regional infrastructure.

The strategy has been funded by Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) and facilitated by Dance Aotearoa New Zealand (DANZ).

The theme for this year’s International Day of Disabled People is Celebrating empowerment through independence, inclusivity and choice.
