This talk explores the Israeli aspects of integrated dance, an art form that brings together dancers with and without disabilities. Together, these dancers challenge the way disability is presented and perceived in public culture and in the arts.

Integrated dance embodies the possibility of challenging national, religious, and social boundaries while expanding public awareness of multiculturalism.
