On the eve of International Dance Day, Indrani Mukerjea Enterprise (IME) hosted “Dance Is for Everybody” at Mumbai’s Veda Kunba Auditorium - an inclusive celebration where disabled dancers and performers across seventeen disability categories stepped forward - not to be showcased as exceptions, but to be celebrated as artists in their own right.

The dancers represented a wide spectrum of disabilities, including blindness, low vision, hearing impairment, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, chronic neurological conditions, intellectual and learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, speech and language impairments, locomotor disability, dwarfism, mental illness, multiple disabilities, leprosy-cured status, and survivors of acid attacks.
