CB MOVES
ADAPTIVE DANCE FOr ADULTs

In partnership with The Bridge, our classes offer an inclusive environment for experienced dancers or those new to the art form. This fun and fitness-focused class fosters social connection and creative expression through movement. The experienced faculty come from various dance backgrounds, including jazz, ballet, modern, and musical theatre, and specialize in creating an inviting and engaging class experience for people with disabilities.

Participant information


Location

Classes take place in person at Cincinnati Ballet’s Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance located at 1801 Gilbert Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio.

Class Pricing

All classes are $10 and include a companion participant (if desired) at no additional charge.

Recommended Attire

Participants are encouraged to wear attire they can comfortably move in.  Students may take class in dance shoes, socks, or barefoot. Sneakers are not recommended except for those who require the support of specialty shoes or braces.

Accessible Parking and Entry

Accessible parking and entry is located on the back side (east side) of the Center for Dance. The accessible entrance is the Craig and Anne Maier Artistic Entrance. Please use the call button for secure entry.

What to Expect


Each class begins seated, then transitions to standing work supported by a barre or chair, moves across the room, and finally ends in the center of the room with choreography or combination. At any point, dancers may opt to use a chair or the barre for balance instead of standing on their own, or to sit down in a chair and dance seated. Additionally, dancers are encouraged to modify steps as necessary to participate at their own level, and take breaks as needed. Standing and unaided movement across the floor is not necessary to participate. We have had many students successfully navigate class using wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and other mobility devices.
