SUMMARY:Inclusive Dance Teaching with DanceAbility
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Art Spark Texas (Art Spark Dance)\nSpecial thanks to Rosedale Foundation for making this professional learning opportunity possible\nSaturday\, February 28\, 2026 | 4:00–6:00 PM\n**Rosedale School (Austin\, TX) \nWhat is DanceAbility?\nAs dance educators\, we believe integrated dance can reduce isolation and support self-expression and personal growth for people of all abilities. DanceAbility is an improvisation-based method that supports artistic exploration between people with and without disabilities. Through dance and movement\, people from diverse backgrounds practice the art of being together—building connection and strengthening more inclusive communities. \nDanceAbility cultivates common ground for creative expression with equal agency and representation. Movement material is drawn from the group present in the room\, so no one is isolated or singled out. The method supports self-empowerment by offering ways for each person to participate fully and make creative choices—while also respecting personal limits. \nCore principles you’ll learn: Sensation • Relationship • Time • Design\n(often described as self\, others\, and community in motion) \nWhat you’ll leave with: Practical\, adaptable DanceAbility exercises you can use right away\, Tools for inclusive improvisation\, partnering\, and facilitation\, Strategies that support participation for people of all abilities \nWho should attend: Dance educators • teaching artists • classroom teachers • therapists • movement facilitators • anyone curious about inclusive dance practice \nRegister here: https://forms.gle/oB9q7eG6g446B8gh7\nQuestions / Access requests: dance@artsparktx.org

Supporting this effort will be TTF\, environmental artist Stacy Levy\, and Austin-based curators Public City.  This event is in partnership with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department\, Austin Art in Public Places\, and the Watershed Protection Department.\n\n\n\nThis event will be broken into three parts.
