What We Do

What We Do

We create opportunities for and with people with disabilities to participate in dance. Through classes, guest lectures, and nationwide research, we challenge assumptions, celebrate the field’s existing knowledge, and reshape the landscape of dance education.

Research

Refocusing Dance Education outlines a next-phase agenda for inclusive dance education. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, it gathers practitioner insights on what makes disability-and-dance programs effective—in style, substance, and depth. Explore the findings and add your voice as we continue collecting input across the field.
