Adaptive Dance
VBC’s Adaptive Dance Program is for elementary through high school aged students who need additional support to participate in dance class. Our classes feature elements of Ballet, Modern, creative movement, rhythm, and a live musician. Movements and exercises are planned with a variety of ways to modify and adapt as needed. Our students have multiple opportunities to perform with their peers. Our goal is to make enjoying dance accessible to everyone!
All of our program’s teaching staff have completed Boston Ballet’s Adaptive Dance Teacher Training Program and have experience in dance, education, and working with disabilities. We are equipped to teach dance to individuals with physical, developmental, and intellectual disabilities, behavioral needs, and sensory needs. We are committed to work with each family to provide a safe and enjoyable dance experience for every student.
Prior to registering, parents must participate in an intake interview to ensure this program will benefit their child, and that the staff are well informed and prepared to meet each student’s needs. Registration is not possible without an intake interview. Please contact christinegilmore@

The Adaptive Dance Program is made possible in part by ArtsFairfax.
