The article discusses the socio-cultural adaptation of people with disabilities through choreography.
The author emphasizes that social independence of handicapped person involves not only adaptation to
surrounding reality, but also achievement of the highest possible level of personal self-actualization and selfrealization.
A major role is played by art, and especially the choreography. A unique phenomenon of the last
decades in the field of socio-cultural adaptation of disabled people become integrated (or inclusive) dance that
allows people with disabilities to engage in practicing choreography. Close interaction between a
conventionally healthy dancer and a dancer in a wheelchair facilitates the integration of persons with
disabilities into society and tolerance towards them. From the object of rehabilitation people with disabilities
turn into a subject of socio-cultural life of society, and the choreography is becoming one of the mechanisms of
socio-cultural adaptation for integrating the individual into the culture.
