Moving into Dance Trust
About
Moving into Dance (MID) was born in the cruel turbulence of 1978 Apartheid South Africa. It was an artistic response to the destructive policy of separateness. The vision was to draw on the creative capacity of the human spirit to connect, enliven, and transcend. Dance as antidote to division. Four decades later continuing our signature of Afrofusion Dance; we continue this legacy. We Lead. We Learn. We Include. We Return. We Lead through a professional company that has produced artists who have been recognised through numerous awards both at home and abroad. We Learn through our accredited Performing Arts Training Course and internships that have produced dancers of the highest calibre. We Include through continued social justice activism. Enable through Dance is a project that seeks to disrupt societal narratives around disability by bringing abled and so-called disabled bodied dancers together to explore unexplored creative potential. Importantly, we also Return. Community is core to our identities as human beings and Africans. And so we go back, give back, by sharing the gifts of this experience and learning with others. The value of this organisation in aiding social justice can never be understated. It is with this background that we continue to do what we do as an enabler of purpose and a dealer of hope.
