Welcome to another episode of Dance Inc. We’re in the second part of our job workshop for disabled DJs and industry superstars! This week we’re talking mental health – Brains are complex meaning mental health issues both extremely diverse and very common….. So why all the stigma?!

We welcome back Waqas Ali– the HR hot shot who has worked with companies like Studio Canal, Ministry of Sound and Apple to discuss the pressures of working in nightlife with mental health problems. This week we also check in on Mike Wooller, a DJ with anxiety and depression who knows a thing or two about Djing with a disability.
