Description
Dance Education Programs: In our dance education programs SWD/HNS (2nd-12th Grade) take dance classes that transition into rehearsals for our performances. Students have classes twice a week for 8-12 weeks at their school/facility. Student-dancers perform in the shows together with company dancers with and without disabilities as part of our original full-scale dance productions at NYC theaters.
Production Apprenticeships: Adolescent SWD/HNS (14-21 years old) take classes in other elements of dance production: costume design, lighting design, box office, videography, and stage management. Following the classes, students come to the theater for a full week of on-site learning. Apprentices assist the production team during technical rehearsals as well as backstage and in the front of house during the shows.
Original Modern Dance Productions: Our one-of-a-kind dance performances bring together people of all ages from 7 to 76 with and without disabilities (Deaf, blind/low vision, Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, paralysis, and others), and most importantly underserved children and teens with disabilities and/or high-needs from our Education and Apprenticeship Programs.
