The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of the ‘Dance Festival for the Disabled’ and to suggest a role and direction for the festival henceworth. The ‘Dance Festival for the Disabled’ used the Korea International Dance Festival for the Disabled and the LALAME Dance Festival of the Korea Dance Association for the Disabled as a viewpoint. The dance festival for the disabled should play a role in changing the space as problems in public places that lack facilities for the disabled can be found during the festival. It should also play a cross role in finding new organizations and professionals who can overcome the limitations of the limited dance troupe for the disabled, and harmonizing with the culture of those with disabilities, with its strong connection with society. In addition, international-scale festivals should review their plans as an international festival in ensure that it does not become a domestic festival, and domestic festivals should focus on developing art contents for the disabled. Finally, it was suggested to provide a stable performing environment for the disabled and to contribute to preparing opportunities for cultivating talented people with the expertise and character to do art.
