Danceables
Inclusive dance classes for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
What is Dancables?
Danceables is a very special group for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In each class we teach simple stage directions, movement basics, and short pieces of choreography designed to be fun and achievable. Our teachers break steps into clear, repeatable parts and use visual cues, simple language, and hands-on support when needed.
The goal is not perfection, it's connection, confidence, and the joy of performing together. Students move at their own pace, learn how to follow stage cues, and take part in low-pressure performances so families and friends can celebrate their progress.
Everyone is welcome, and we tailor the class to meet each participant where they are.
FAQs
Do participants need dance experience?
No. We design the class for beginners and adapt movement for all abilities.
What should participants wear?
Comfortable clothes and socks or soft-soled shoes. Bring a water bottle.
Are caregivers required to stay?
Not required. Caregivers may stay if the participant prefers extra support.
Do you provide one-on-one aides?
We do not provide personal aides but instructors will adapt and support in-class. If a participant needs a dedicated aide, families may bring one.
Can students with intellectual and developmental disabilities join other classes at Haven?
We love Danceables, and we also welcome dancers with IDD into our other classes at Haven. We will work with you to make sure the class is a good fit.
Is there a performance?
Yes, we offer a low-pressure performance at the end of each session, as well as other performance opportunities. Participation is optional.
