Keep Your Practice Relevant:
Learn Inclusive Dance!

The best way to an inclusive dance practice is with a DanceAbility International Teaching Certification!

In development for the last 37 years by DanceAbility Founder Alito Alessi, the DanceAbility Method has allowed over 800 dance teachers in 40 countries to bring inclusive dance practice to their communities of people with and without disabilities as Certified DanceAbility Teachers. This summer you can chose from two different DanceAbility Teacher Certification Trainings- one in historic Vienna, Austria and the other in Brunswick, Maine, in the beautiful New England region of the United States. A tough choice, right? But be sure to choose soon! Positions in each class are limited and they fill quickly!

SEE YOU THIS SUMMER!

More than 700 people with and without disabilities have attended intensive DanceAbility Teacher Certification courses in various countries since 1996. Those trained in DanceAbility have continued to develop and expand inclusive dance communities around the world.
The DanceAbility Teacher Certification addresses people who want to teach integrated groups in movement arts, or learn a model for facilitating communities that foster inclusive participation. The course covers well-defined methods and techniques for teaching, but there is not a stagnant set of rules. It is an approach to designing creative movement practices that allow anybody and everybody’s movement to emerge, thereby facilitating individual and group expression.
Participants in the DanceAbility Teacher Certification course will build on their own experiences to develop appropriate materials for the continued development of the work in their own communities.
