Moving into Dance (MID) was born in the cruel turbulence of 1978 Apartheid South Africa by Sylvia “Magogo” Glasser. It was an artistic response to the destructive policy of separateness. The vision was to draw on the creative capacity of the human spirit to connect, enliven, and transcend – dance as an antidote to division.

Nearly five decades later, we continue our signature Afrofusion Dance and this legacy. We Lead. We Learn. We Include. We Return. We Lead through a professional company that has produced artists recognised with numerous awards at home and abroad. We Learn through our accredited Performing Arts Training Course and internships that have produced dancers of the highest calibre. We Include through continued social justice activism. “Enable through Dance” is a project that seeks to disrupt societal narratives about disability by bringing together abled and so-called “disabled-bodied” dancers to explore untapped creative potential. Importantly, we also Return.

Community is core to our identities as human beings and Africans. And so we go back and give back by sharing the gifts of this experience and learning, with others. The value of this organisation in aiding social justice can never be understated. With this background, we continue to do what we do as an enabler of purpose and a dealer of hope.
