The 2nd Indonesian Ballet Gala 2017 : An Inclusive Dance Event

For the first time ever in Indonesia, a unique dance event that celebrates world-class talents, passions and commitments to art despite physical conditions!

Note:
Diffability (stems from ‘differently able’) is a concept that acknowledges and even celebrate that people with special needs that were often marked as ‘dis-able’ (or less able) often have extraordinary abilities, including in dance.
