'Dance for All' Community Care Inclusive Dance Scheme

To reinforce the promotion of inclusiveness to the general public, a inclusive dance scheme '"Dance for All" Community Care Inclusive Dance Scheme', will be continued to launch in 2025-26. With its base at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the scheme will run throughout a school year. It features a series of performances, which involve disabled persons as performers, to be held at Foyer and Piazza of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, as well as workshops and other fringe activities. There is also a whole-year long dance training programme for students of special schools by professional dance group. After they have completed the training, they would give finale performances at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
