We’re looking for experienced dancers to become Buddies in a Deakin research project exploring the power of community dance for children with Autism. 💫

Buddies will partner with a child in weekly creative dance classes in Terms 3 & 4, 2026 (Tuesdays after school, Deakin University Burwood Campus), with training and support from experienced dance and psychology researchers.

Help children access dance, grow your teaching and collaboration skills, and be part of a meaningful research project.

We had an exhilarating day in the studio with the incredible ReMix team at Restless Dance Theatre, Australia’s leading inclusive dance company.

Our collaboration is all about learning from their exceptional team while contributing our research expertise to help measure and report the impact of their important work.

We feel incredibly privileged to be partnering with Restless and can’t wait to see this project unfold ✨

Are you a parent of an Autistic child who loves to dance?

Our most recent AllPlay Dance program brought so much joy to the families who took part. Parents shared how much their children loved attending, describing them as relaxed, engaged, and excited each week.

We’re now inviting families to join our next group.

We’re offering a free, term-long dance program (Tuesdays after school, 2026) for Autistic children aged 7–12. Be part of this exciting research and help us learn how dance can support Autistic children and their families.
