Dance For Abilities (DFA) is a not-for-profit organization based in both NZ and Australia. It is dedicated to empowering and enabling adults with (dis)abilities to live enriched and fulfilled lives.

Where the key focus is on the ‘ability’ of the individual not the disability (hence ‘unique abilities’). DFA is committed to boosting social inclusion, equality of opportunities, positive awareness in community and of course - FUN.

Dance is a universal language that brings people together, regardless of their background or abilities.

For individuals who live with a (dis)ability, dance can serve as a powerful tool for self-expression, socialization, physical exercise and most importantly FUN.

Through a frequent events calendar, Dance For Abilities creates a safe and inclusive environment that is entirely tailored to the needs of its guests. This ensures that everyone who attends can enjoy themselves in a fun and colourful space, where they can feel safe and cared for.

With our community dance events, Dance For Abilities strives to promote physical, emotional, and social well-being for its participants.

By breaking down barriers and promoting inclusion, Dance For Abilities empowers individuals with unique abilities to develop confidence, build relationships, and express themselves creatively.

The organization's commitment to dance as a means of connecting and empowering its participants has made a profound impact on the lives of those involved.
