Support for Communities of All Abilities
Through dance, individuals with disabilities can improve their physical and emotional well-being, build self-confidence, and develop social skills. Adaptive dance programs also provide opportunities for participants to perform and showcase their talents, promoting inclusivity and breaking down stereotypes
