The present report recaptures the DANCING Mid-Term Academic Conference on 4 September 2023 which marked the halfway point of the European Research Council-funded project ‘Protecting the Right to Culture of Persons with Disabilities and Enhancing Cultural Diversity through European Union Law: Exploring New Paths – DANCING’. The conference pursued two primary objectives, namely taking stock of the research conducted up until this point in the project and to situate that research within broader scholarly debates. Thus, besides presenting interim findings of the DANCING project, the received constructive criticism at this occasion is recalled and presented as it feeds into the on-going research undertaken by the DANCING team. The report also highlights which accessibility measures and reasonable accommodation was undertaken to organise and host an inclusive and accessible conference for all. To implement and communicate some of the preliminary findings on barriers and facilitators to cultural participation by persons with disabilities, a bespoke, accessible DANCING opera concert followed the academic sessions. This DANCING concert is equally presented and discussed in this report, including the manifold accessibility measures and facilitators to an inclusive concert performance employed.
