Hear from Some of our Volunteers! 

"I am a Special Education Teacher in the Franklin area and I found out about MOVE Inclusive Dance from some of my students' parents. I decided to get involved and start volunteering. What I love most about MOVE is that they provide a safe space for people with disabilities to have fun and be themselves-in any way, shape, or form. They collaborate with other local nonprofits and organizations which helps build a network for teachers and families within our own community. It is a great place filled with confidence, respect, love, and laughter!"

"Volunteering at MOVE has been the highlight of my summer! Students, volunteers, and staff at the studio operate with joy, passion, and kindness, and everyone has ensured that I am welcomed into this positive environment. I have thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to serve the Nashville dance community that has continually poured into my life over the years."
