Dançando com a Diferença was formed in 2001 as a pilot project in the autonomous region of Madeira. The aim was to stage inclusive dance activities, which were non-existent in Madeira at the time. Years later, it turned into a professional company that went on to become a national and international reference point in the contemporary arts under the artistic direction of Henrique Amoedo. Its mission: to promote social and cultural inclusion through inclusive dance. Its vision: to change the social image of people with disabilities and to claim spaces for human diversity in the professional universe of the contemporary arts.

The company has worked with other choreographers that include François Chaignaud, Tânia Carvalho, Vera Mantero and La Ribot.
