EDI/Accessibility
Our Commitment to Accessibility and Diversity
We believe that dance should be accessible to everyone. That's why we offer financially and physically accessible dance workshops that adhere to attendees individual needs and accommodations. We are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all.
Our "Inclusivity Crew" (3 person volunteer panel) for Accessibility & Diversity, is always sure GDAC is EDI approved!
We have Manhattan MacLennan, our CEO, Holly Deeks as our Accessibility Advocate, and we have Ali Shukri as our EDI Coordinator!
