MoveAbility is a program offered at the Black Mountain Center for the Arts providing dance education designed to empower physically and intellectually disabled individuals in the region.
We happily welcome individuals with physical and/or intellectual disabilities who have an interest exploring movement and self-expression through dance. Our program is designed to be inclusive and adaptable, ensuring that everyone—no matter their mobility, experience level, or communication style—has the chance to participate in a way that feels just right for them!
We encourage everyone to join us, including:
- Individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, including autism, Down syndrome,
and other neurodivergent conditions.
- Individuals with physical disabilities, including those who use mobility aids like wheelchairs, walkers, or braces.
- Caregivers, family members, and support staff who want to participate in the fun and movement with the participants.
- Anyone looking for a friendly and creative space to express themselves through dance and be part of a supportive community.
At MoveAbility, we’re all about creating an inclusive environment where every participant is respected, encouraged, and free to explore movement in their own special way. Come dance with us and let your unique expression shine!
This program is supported by ArtsAVL, Buncombe County Government, and the National Endowment for the Arts
