Though we are all human beings and share common human experiences and emotions, we are all infinitely unique: different DNA, backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, identities, tastes, looks, interests, etc.  And though we are each unique, we all have a need to be included, and deep down we all have a strong desire to include others.  However, even in a diverse country like the USA, there is still much exclusion and discrimination, and we oftentimes see inclusion advocacy practiced through bitterness and violence.

#DanceForInclusion (initiated as #InfiniteInclusion in Nov 2016 and renamed #DanceForInclusion) is a social movement lead by Infinite Flow - A Wheelchair Dance Company to mass market inclusion through dance and innovation, creating infinite opportunities.  #DanceForInclusion refers to inclusion in a broad sense.  It’s not only a movement advocating for people with disabilities, but also about advocating for other minorities groups (different ethnic & religious groups, LGBTQ, etc), as well as simply including someone at the lunch table or in a conversation at a party.  It’s about breaking down barriers everywhere: at work, school, media, entertainment, pop culture, politics, literature, beauty, employment, travel, architecture, transportation, city development, etc.

About Infinite Flow

Infinite Flow is a nonprofit organization founded in Los Angeles in March 2015 with the mission empower people through dance and human connection.  We just happen to be America's first professional wheelchair ballroom dance company as well.  

We are dedicated to

• Increasing access to quality dance instruction for people with disabilities in inclusive environments;
• Building a world-class professional dance company, which includes dancers with and without disabilities as a vehicle to break stereotypes and perceived barriers; and
• Creatively leading a social movement for inclusion in performing arts as well as in everyday life.    

Since our beginning, we have performed at 50+ events, instructed 200+ wheelchair users through workshops, weekly dance classes, and community outreach, and have been recognized locally and nationally in media outlets such as NBC’s Today Show, NowThis, Refinery29, GOOD Magazine, Broadway World, Dance Spirit Magazine, ABC Robin Roberts N’Courage Blog, LA Parent Magazine, ABC-7 News, Fox-11 News, and many MORE.

Infinite Flow was founded by Marisa Hamamoto, a professional ballroom dancer who was temporarily paralyzed from the neck down with a rare spinal cord disease in 2006.  Through building Infinite Flow from scratch, she realized that Infinite Flow was more than a dance company, but also a vehicle for social & systematic change and decided to add #DanceForInclusion (initially #InfiniteInclusion) as an initiative to further extend Infinite Flow’s message of breaking barriers through dance to the masses.
