Pamoja Dance Group is a Performing Arts Group that was officially incorporated in 2006. It is a multi-ethnic group of dancers that provides a real platform for dancers with and without disability in the arts community and most importantly in society at large. Pamoja is a unique group working with a new form of integration through artistic creation, as dancers with and without physical disability come together to share creative work in an open and understanding environment. Through dance, the Group aims to challenge its audiences to reflect upon how they view disability and integration and to see that they can make changes to realize the Group’s dream of a society in which all people can realize their full potential in a safe and healthy environment.

The Dancers are role models in society because this experience shows the potential of disability in a new light. The experience has empowered the dancers. Their lives have changed. All of the dancers have gained in self confidence and believe in themselves and their potential. For example, the appreciation and applause from performances has given the dancers confidence in themselves, their abilities and talents. This increased self confidence has been reflected in their increased communication and interviewing skills. Where previously the dancers had gone for job interviews and been unsuccessful; today, 6 of the group who were previously unemployed are in work and earning a living that can support themselves and their families.
