What We Do

Dance made accessible.

We use dance as a vehicle for wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity.

Accessible Dance Education

Inclusive partner-dance instruction using tactile, auditory, verbal and kinesthetic teaching methods rather than relying only on visual demonstration.

Social
Connection

Classes and Dance in the Dark™ socials create shared experiences where blind, visually impaired and sighted people can build relationships and community.

Economic Opportunity

Create opportunities for the blind and visually impaired to develop leadership, communication and dance-related skills through paid and volunteer roles.

How We Create Impact

Learning beyond visual demonstration.

Our multi-sensory approach incorporates tactile, auditory, verbal and kinesthetic techniques so participants can learn through body awareness, sound, touch and connection.
