We Are One (WAO) Trust is an award-winning wheelchair dance group in India and a social inclusion organisation founded by differently-abled artists. Through powerful dance performances, an inclusive dance academy, educational programs, and community outreach, we transform how society views disability.
We may not all walk the same path. Some of us move on wheels, some cannot hear, some cannot speak. Yet within us beats a dancing heart—one that moves hands and feet beyond the limits of belief. Seeing, truly, is believing.
Guided by this rhythm, our hearts, hands, and wheels have travelled across India and the world, captivating audiences of every age and background. We Are One stands ready to break social and artistic barriers, drive inclusion through creativity, inspire both differently-abled and abled individuals, and celebrate humanity through the universal language of dance.
Our mission is to transform perceptions of disability and promote social inclusion by using dance, creativity, and lived experience as tools for change.
We strive to:
Empower differently abled individuals by providing platforms for artistic expression and professional growth
Create inclusive spaces where abled and differently-abled people learn and perform together
Spread awareness and sensitivity around disability through performances, education programs, and community outreach
Inspire confidence, self belief, and independence among people with disabilities
Use art to break social barriers and build a more accepting, compassionate society
To create an inclusive world where disability is not seen as a limitation but as a different expression of human ability, and where every individual, abled or differently abled has equal opportunity to learn, perform, express, and thrive through creativity.
We envision a society where wheelchairs are symbols of strength, differences are celebrated, and art becomes a powerful bridge of empathy, dignity, and unity.
We value inclusion, dignity, empowerment, excellence, resilience, and unity. Creating equal spaces where ability is celebrated and differences come together as one.
Inclusion
We create spaces where abled and differently abled individuals learn, perform, and grow together with equal respect and opportunity.
Dignity
We celebrate ability over disability, ensuring pride, self worth, and respect in every expression and interaction.
Empowerment
We enable individuals to discover their strengths, build confidence, and lead independent, purpose driven lives.
Excellence
We strive for artistic and professional excellence, delivering impactful performances with discipline and integrity.
Resilience
We transform challenges into strength through perseverance, courage, and unwavering self-belief.
Unity
We believe society is strongest when differences come together because abled and differently-abled are one.
We believe movement begins long before the body, it begins in the heart. At We Are One, wheels turn into wings, silence finds rhythm, and differences transform into strength.
Disability is not the absence of ability; it is the presence of a different kind of power. Through dance, we rewrite stories, dissolve labels, and replace limitation with possibility. Every performance is an invitation to see beyond the obvious and feel what truly connects us. In our world, abled and differently-abled share the same stage, the same dreams, and the same dignity because when we move together, we are one.
At We Are One, we choose belief over fear, courage over comfort, and unity over division.
