Host an ADEPT Class at Your Studio
ADEPT travels across North Texas to serve students with disabilities in their community and to help dance studios share dance with everyone.
Our Curriculum
Adaptive Dance Education and Performance of Texas, LLC (ADEPT) is a mobile program that provides quality dance education to students of all ages, levels, and disabilities.
Our curriculum is…
specially designed to integrate students with disabilities in a group class with their peers.
help students develop and improve physical, social, mental, and emotional skills through dance practice and performance.
specialized for each group of students and works closely with parents and students to develop appropriate goals.
based on the belief quality dance education fosters life skills.
accommodates each student’s needs and strives to include the social, motor, and instructional goals of all participants.
Why Offer ADEPT?
ADEPT is for everyone:
Individuals with disabilities
Prospective students who cannot join your regular classes
Current students who are interested in unique ways to share dance
Siblings of current students who have disabilities or just want to try dance
Dance should be for everyone, but not every instructor or studio has the time or experience to fully integrate disabled students into their regular classes. ADEPT offers specialized classes to students that your studio could not typically serve, while renting your studio space. In our program, students with disabilities are given the opportunity to dance alongside their peers in a real studio space.
Although ADEPT’s classes are primarily for students with disabilities, your current students can also benefit from the program. Your students can be integrated into the classes to learn compassion and understanding for disabled dancers. With ADEPT at your studio, all students, disabled or not, will learn that everyone can connect through dance.

Classes may be scheduled to occur weekly, or multiple times a week according to student interest and instructor availability. As you know, the most requested times for classes are afternoon and evenings on weekdays. If you have a slow weekday and need to fill your space, this would be the ideal time for our classes!
