Inclusive dancing is a dance practice that welcomes individuals of all abilities, including those with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities. At MOVE Inclusive Dance, we believe in the power of dance to transform lives, using movement and music to foster personal growth, confidence, and joy in a nurturing community environment. Our inclusive approach ensures everyone, regardless of their ability level, can participate in and benefit from dance.

Participants in inclusive dance experience numerous benefits, including improved physical health, enhanced emotional well-being, increased confidence, and stronger sense of community.

Dancing enhances coordination, flexibility, and strength, while the inclusive setting fosters social connections, understanding, and acceptance among individuals of diverse backgrounds and abilities.

Our classes are designed to be a welcoming space where students can meet new friends and feel part of a community. By bringing together individuals of all abilities, inclusive dance classes break down barriers, encourage empathy, and build a supportive network where everyone is valued for their unique contributions. This shared experience of dance fosters a sense of belonging and unity among participants.

We keep our group classes small with a capacity of 10 students per group, usually averaging around 5-8 students at a time. We love to see our students flourish from the small group setting, familiar atmosphere, and friendly faces they see each week!

Students can always expect to see one teacher leading the group. Our intimate group setting allows teachers to tailor lessons to each student’s needs and ensure that everyone has one-on-one attention and instruction.

Depending on the needs of each group, some classes may be offered “dance buddies” who partner with the students that benefit most and focus best with a little more hands-on help in the group class setting. The consistency of working closely with the same buddy each week lets the dancer and their buddy bond over time, helping students reach their full dance potential.
