Transforming lives through the power of dance

in-person + virtual classes available!

Founded in 2018, MOVE Inclusive Dance has grown from a small summer camp to a substantial year-round program serving individuals throughout Middle Tennessee and beyond. We have garnered support from various local and national foundations, as well as being an organization featured by BuzzFeed.

Inclusion is a big deal.

Research shows inclusion has a positive impact not only on those with disabilities but those without, too. It instills lifelong qualities that transcend outside of the dance studio, making our inclusive dance class program so much more than just a dance class.

“Our daughter has learned critical life skills in the areas of leadership, persistence, perseverance, and teamwork at MOVE Inclusive Dance!”
