Jolt in Rarotonga

Champion disability leadership. Support inclusive dance. 

Jolt is an inclusive dance company based in Ōtautahi, Christchurch that delivers high quality dance and teacher training for people with intellectual disabilities. Jolt’s unique approach to disability leadership has taken us across Aotearoa and to London, Glasgow and Seoul in South Korea.  

As part of our vision to share our unique practice, Jolt is planning a weeklong inclusive dance residency in Rarotonga, partnering with Nukutere College’s Inclusive Unit, Autism Cook Islands, the Creative Centre, and two primary schools. Jolt will share our approach to inclusive dance and disability leadership ending with a performance for local whānau and friends. The team will include five key leaders within Jolt all of whom have an intellectual disability.
