The goal of this summit is to elevate the field of dance and disability, bring joy to all participants, and create pathways to dance performance and education careers for students and teachers with disabilities. 

We seek to address topics and conversation centered around the following ideas.

  1. How do we revolutionize our pedagogies, curriculum, and lesson plans such that we are more inclusive of disabled teachers, students, audiences, and everybody’s access needs?
  2. How do we challenge our field’s current ableist aesthetics?
  3. What can we learn from disability advocacy, culture, and disability justice within the scope of dance education?
  4. How might we broaden access for disabled and diverse audiences? 
  5. How can we both honor our pathways so far and move us toward a more just world in our current policy environment?
