DirtyFeet

DirtyFeet is a vibrant and diverse sports club located in Sydney, Australia. Founded on the principles of inclusivity and belonging, DirtyFeet provides a welcoming and supportive community for dancers of all backgrounds and skill levels.

As a club, DirtyFeet is committed to honouring the indigenous heritage of the land it operates on. The club acknowledges and pays respect to the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land and waters upon which DirtyFeet dancers move and create.

One of DirtyFeet's key initiatives is the Diversity Inclusion and Belonging (DIB) Plan. This plan, which is now live on the club's website, outlines their commitment to ensuring that everybody, regardless of their background, feels welcome and included in the DirtyFeet community. The DIB Plan is available in Easy Read and Audio Versions, making it accessible to a wider audience.
