A Dance Class Where Every Dancer Belongs
Studio b’s Adaptive Dance Program is the result of over a year of thoughtful development, collaboration, and training. We’ve spent time researching, listening, and preparing to ensure this class truly meets the needs of dancers who benefit from a more supportive and individualized environment.
Whether your dancer did not thrive in an integrated classroom, has a disability and is new to dance, or simply needs a space with more personalized support—this program was created with them in mind.
We focus on each dancer as a whole—mentally, socially, physically, and developmentally—while prioritizing safety, accessibility, and a true sense of belonging. Our goal is to help every student discover the joy of movement in a way that works for them.

What to Expect in Class
Each 40-minute class is thoughtfully structured and includes:
-
Movement basics to build coordination and confidence

Social learning with the goal of understanding and responding to nonverbal cues, managing emotions, engaging in reciprocal conversations, and building meaningful relationships
-
Fostering self-advocacy and understanding social expectations
-
Sensory play using props and music to meet sensory needs
-
Performance preparation with simple choreography and repetition
-
Show & Tell during the final 5 minutes, encouraging connection and celebration
