AXIS Dance Company offers mind-opening performances and dance workshops for grades K-12. These programs showcase innovative, contemporary choreography and emphasize collaboration among disabled, non-disabled and neurodiverse people.
For 2025, AXIS is working towards a venue-hosted model for our Youth Engagement Performances vs. in-school assemblies. Stay tuned for updates coming this fall for how your school can participate.
WHY?
TO ENSURE a fully accessible experience for both Bay Area schools and the AXIS teaching artists.
TO PROVIDE a positive model, fully illustrating the importance of accessibility and inclusion for all.
TO OFFER more students and educators the opportunity to see live integrated dance, participate in collaborative activities, and engage with the performers in an accessible environment.
TO SUPPORT school districts and schools with resources to use Prop 28 funding.
TO ENGAGE with venues to create a broader understanding of accessibility in their space.

Creative Dance Workshops
For Grades K-5: AXIS will teach creative dance classes to disabled, non-disabled, and neurodiverse youth. Participants will be led through activities that encourage them to explore their own movement vocabulary, build confidence, practice cooperation, and develop an appreciation of each other’s individual, creative expression. This workshop pairs well with our AXIS Assembly Program for students in grades K-5. Maximum of 25 participants.
Integrated Dance Workshops
For Grades 6-12: AXIS will introduce elements of integrated dance for disabled, non-disabled, and neurodiverse students. The emphasis of this class will be on investigation and exploration, using creative movement, improvisation, and modern dance technique. Target audiences are students with some level of dance, athletic, or movement experience. This workshop pairs well with our AXIS Assembly Program for students in grades 6-12. Maximum of 25 participants.
