For Motion Control Dance, this win is a testament to the incredible work they have done in breaking down barriers in the dance world, particularly in making dance accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
Founded with the vision of making dance an art form that everyone can engage with, Motion Control Dance has carved out a niche for itself as a leader in inclusive dance. By adapting choreography, providing tailored support, and offering creative opportunities for dancers with disabilities, the company has proven that dance is not just for some—it’s for all.
Winning the Inclusive Award at the Thinkedi Inclusion and Diversity Awards in Wales is a fitting acknowledgment of Motion Control Dance’s mission and the lasting impact they’ve made in the local community and beyond.
The Thinkedi Inclusion and Diversity Awards: A Day to Remember
The Thinkedi Inclusion and Diversity Awards, held for the first time in Wales, brought together industry leaders, advocates, and change-makers from all sectors to celebrate outstanding contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion. As one of the event’s highlight moments, the Inclusive Award was presented to Motion Control Dance in recognition of their innovative approach to inclusive arts.
For the company, receiving this award at such a high-profile event is not just an endorsement of their work but a powerful reminder that their mission to make dance accessible is resonating far beyond their local community.
A Year of Accomplishments
For Motion Control Dance, this award serves as a wonderful conclusion to a year that has been filled with milestones, growth, and expanded opportunities. Throughout 2024, the company has continued to push the envelope when it comes to making dance inclusive for all abilities, offering classes and performances that celebrate the diversity of human experience through movement.
The impact of their work goes far beyond just providing an outlet for creative expression. Through dance, Motion Control Dance provides a sense of belonging, empowerment, and joy to individuals who may have felt excluded from traditional dance spaces. Whether it's a dancer with limited mobility, someone with a neurodivergent condition, or anyone in between, Motion Control Dance has been fostering a culture where difference is not just accepted but celebrated.
Their programs have reached hundreds of people across South Wales, changing lives and giving individuals the opportunity to experience the joy of dance on their own terms. And now, with the Inclusive Award in hand, they are more motivated than ever to continue their mission.

As the team reflects on this momentous award, they’re not just celebrating the recognition itself, but the journey that brought them here—the countless rehearsals, the partnerships with disability advocates, and the smiles of the dancers who have discovered new ways to express themselves through movement.
Looking ahead, Motion Control Dance is excited for what the future holds. With this award behind them, they are poised to continue growing, expanding their reach, and inspiring even more people to engage with the arts in ways that feel empowering, accessible, and truly inclusive.
