CB Moves is designed to foster a love of dance and creative expression for individuals with physical and/or cognitive challenges. With curriculum designed in consultation with the Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy at Cincinnati Children’s, we offer a variety of classes for students from age four through young adults. Led by qualified faculty and experienced physical therapists, our CB Moves team is deeply committed to safely supporting all participants as they explore the rich benefits of movement, music and a highly engaged student community.
Open to students ages 4 – young adult. Placement assessment required for all participants.
We are excited to announce the return of CB Moves Family Dance Days for summer 2024! Family Dance Days are an opportunity for CB Moves students to stay engaged over the summer and for newly interested families to try out CB Moves in a fun and relaxed environment. Led by our excellent team of CB Moves faculty, these summer classes are designed for a student and an adult to dance together.

CB Moves classes run for 20 weeks beginning in October and concluding in April. Classes prioritize the safe exploration of movement and musicality for the benefit of each student’s personal and social growth and are structured to support students based on the resources best suited to their physical and/or cognitive disabilities.
CB Moves students are placed in class groups through an assessment process done in partnership with Cincinnati Children’s that’s designed to determine which resources students need to be most successful in the studio.
Optional performance participation in the Community Division Celebration.
All classes take place in person at the Margaret and Michael Valentine Center for Dance.
