The VAF is a non-profit organisation that was founded by Shiamak Davar since he wanted to reach out to everyone and spread the spirit of dancing, whether or not someone had the ability to do so. It caters to a group of differently-abled (or specially-abled as Shiamak would call it) people, who may be visually or verbally impaired, mentally challenged or simply underprivileged. Instructors of the Shiamak Davar’s Institute for the Performing Arts (SDIPA) teach these children to dance.
