For Teens, Adults and Seniors with Special Needs and Disabilities

September 19 - December 14, 2024

RSVP for our Final Presentations:
Our special dancers have all been creating and learning together and would love to show you the dance skills they’ve mastered and the choreography that each had a hand in making. We have three groups of dancers, so we’d love to see you at one or all of our project-ending public presentations. Programs last around an hour with reception to follow.
