Dance raves are for everyone!
Presented by three Deaf hosts and a DJ, this interactive dance event celebrates connection, joy, and the power of dance rituals. In a playful interrogation of who belongs in dance rave spaces, Mini SPIN honours the intersection of Deaf culture, dance, and music - with no dance experience required.
All children welcome, including Deaf/HoH/CODA and hearing children.
