We are Propel Dance.

We are the UK’s first and only wheelchair dance company - and we need your help.

This summer, we want to share our brand-new performance work with the public at two incredible Midlands venues. These events will showcase a suite of powerful new solos, duets and group pieces - all created by and for disabled dancers in an evening of fabulous entertainment.

But here’s the challenge: we currently have no funding, as a not-for-profit community interest company, to pay our dancers or creative team to perform this work.

That’s why we’re crowdfunding - to cover essential performance fees, rehearsal costs, and access support so our team can do what they do best: move, inspire and perform.

Why this matters

Propel Dance champions professional disabled dancers at every level - on stage, behind the scenes, and in leadership. Our work is bold, ambitious, and needed more than ever. By donating, you’re helping ensure:

-Disabled dancers are fairly paid for their time, skill and creativity

-Audiences across the Midlands get to experience high-quality, inclusive dance and feel represented on stage

-We keep pushing for a more accessible and equitable arts sector

Every donation counts

Whether you can give £5 or £500, your support helps bring this work to life. It’s not just about covering costs although we would really like to pay our people fairly - it’s about backing a vision of dance where disabled artists lead, create, and shine.
