Organised by Centre for Community Cultural Development and co-organised by BEYOND Bollywood and Eaton HK, the mission of the Hong Kong International Inclusive Dance Festival is to create an artistic platform that supports and accommodates a wide range of mental and physical abilities, as well as to offer opportunities for participation and expression. The festival also aims to showcase the rich aspects of inclusive dance, foster the growth of contemporary dance in Hong Kong, provide comprehensive care for the needs of various groups, and advance the advancement of society as a whole through understanding and tolerance.
