Mixed Ability/ Adaptive Dance Program
Mixed Ability/ Adaptive Dance Program
Keshet’s Mixed Ability classes focus on celebrating the expression of all individuals and all abilities in dance. While dancers of all abilities are welcome in all Keshet programming, Mixed Ability classes specifically integrate all mobility devices as well as all levels of physical and developmental abilities. In Mixed Ability classes, students are invited to move and express dance technique together while discovering their unique movement possibilities.
Other terminology in the dance field for Mixed Ability Dance is integrated dance, inclusive dance, or adaptive dance.
“Dancing has changed my life because I feel like I don’t have a disability when I dance. On stage, I feel free, and I feel beautiful.”
