AXIS’ Engagement Programs, Classes, and Workshops launched in 1989 in direct response to the community’s desire to study integrated dance. AXIS maintains an extensive engagement program, offering opportunities for all ages and abilities, and we are a primary pre-professional training ground for aspiring dancers with disabilities.
