Dance Workshops

Uniting rhythm, space and energy to express the unspoken

The dance workshops from the Adaptive Arts Program offer an exploration of different styles of movement and choreography through body expression, as well as an exploration of street dance.

2025-2026 workshops

Choose from two workshops that combine body expression and movement.
  • Body expression

    For youth and adults

    Workshops that allow participants to experience movement, rhythms, space and improvisation in groups, along with the creation of a dance choreography.

  • Street dance

    For adults

    Activities that use movement to explore the basics of street dance and playful physical improvisation, with the goal of creating a unique group performance.
