I have developed a family of dancing pledges to encourage and improve inclusivity related to dancers of neurodiversity, Invisible disabilities and those who have experienced Anxiety The content of the pledges was based on my experiences as a dancing participant and my dancing activity in different environments. The examples focus on passionate & related partner and group dancing environments. This includes salsa, bachata, Kizomba, Ballroom, La Rueda, Choreography, Professional Dancers, Street dancing, Ballet, Contemporary, Tap dance and Jazz Dance, swing dance, Hip-Hop, Break Dancing & Street Dancing. Also cultural dancing, ceremonial Dancing and many more. This was developed for my awareness project Inclusive Differences which are displayed within the element pages "inclusive to dance" focusing on encouraging inclusivity in dancing environments regardless of abilities. I have created five versions of the Inclusive to Dance pledge were developed with the information displayed online and as a download. The version includes pledges for the following * Teachers & leaders * Professional Dancers & Musicians * Experiences dancers and attendees * leaders and managers * Organisers of events, festivals and conventions. Each pledge contains a family of short and encouraging messages of guidance and advice to make sure people with specific difficulties are not at a disadvantage in inclusive dancing environments. This applies to classes, workshops, events, festivals, parties and conventions. The aim is to spread the word to encourage inclusive and supportive practices at dancing organisations, events & conventions along with experienced and professional dancers of all areas. Further examples are to be developed for music-related environments. The "inclusive to dance" pledge pledges are available to view online and download pledge documents for desktop, mobile and tablet devices via the Plus Value Awareness website. Explore the "Inclusive to dance" project on the Plus Value Awareness website to discover a variety of information to improve inclusivity at dancing envionment.
