weDance Program

Where disability meets possibility and where all abilities are celebrated, nurtured, and grow. Dance classes specifically designed for dancers with physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral needs.

For over 12 years, our pioneer program weDance (formerly DanceAbility) and expert staff have helped countless children and loved ones celebrate their abilities through music, movement, and dance. We make the dreams of becoming a dancer come true with our five amazing classes.

Additional Information:

  • A “dance shadow” for every dance student is assigned.

  • State-of-the-art, fully accessible dance studios and restrooms.

  • Dance Recital is held at the Staller Center at Stony Brook University in June (optional).

Interested in volunteering as a weDance Shadow? 

weDance Shadows are volunteer student assistants assigned to each individual weDance Dancer. Shadows work closely with each dancer to break down instructions and choreography, provide physical prompting or mobility, as well as assisting the teacher throughout the class.
