There are many myths around dance and disability, and also some hard truths. But there is also much that is a murky grey, shaded by different opinions, contexts and perspectives.
The Dance agent for change post wanted to dig deep and uncover some of these, and expose them to the light.
We asked 50 people - dancers (disabled and non disabled), policy makers, reps from companies and others who'd been in contact with the Dance agent for change post - for their opinions, and now we want to know what you've got to add to the debate.
If you any other 'myths' you think we should look add - you can add them below.

This was categorically rejected by our respondents with 92% of those responding feeling that this was totally untrue... want to know what they said?

This was also categorically rejected by our respondents 92% again feeling that this was totally untrue...

Controversial one, this one. 42% of our respondents felt the statement has a grain of truth in it

This was felt to be completely untrue by the majority of people (67%), although that grain of truth came out for others.

Not surprisingly, the statement was felt to be completely untrue by the majority of people we asked, but interestingly 16% of people felt that there was either a grain of truth in the statement or they could understand why people felt that.

There were different opinions in the responses here too - 78% felt it was a complete myth, and nearly a quarter of the respondents could understand why people felt that.
