Diverse Abilities Dance Collective (DADC) is a division of Maya Dance Theatre (MDT) started in June 2018. It is a community initiative by the company to create a co-existing space for persons with disabilities and art-makers. The team learns dance techniques drawn from MDT’s training inspired from Bharatanatyam and contemporary dance; and also engages in learning skills related to employment in the arts, such as costume management, administration and teaching at preschools.
