About this event
Get Ready to Dance!
Instructors and Occupational Therapists from The Dance Ability Movement will provide an inclusive dance class using a universal design approach. Dancers will be led through a variety of dance-based activities that explore creative movement and expression using the Elements of Dance. Each class will offer time to connect with others, learn choreographed dances, explore new movement patterns, and of course involve some freestyle and improvisation opportunities for dancers to show us how they can move and groove! The Dance Ability Movement aims to create safe spaces where all dancers feel welcome and a sense of belonging to their group.
Adaptations to movements will be provided and seated options will be modelled where needed.
Classes are limited to 15 participants.
Please let us know if you have any favourite songs that you'd like for them to incorporate in the classes!
The Dance Ability Movement is excited to build a new community with the BIAYR members to bring the joy of dance to more people!
