DanceAbility International

Since 1987, DanceAbility is recognized internationally as a leading force for creating integrated dance communities of people with and without disabilities. Its mission is to encourage the evolution and performance of New Dance and to cultivate a "common ground" that allows all individuals to develop creatively. DanceAbility attempts to eliminate the prejudice that inhibits artistic and cultural diversity through performance, communication, and education. Joint Forces has produced 2 videos showcasing integrated mixed-abilities dance. One is an award-winning documentary, "Common Ground," about a DanceAbility workshop. The other, "All Bodies Speak," showcases Joint Forces Dance Co.'s mixed-abilities choreography with professional dance artists with and without disabilities.
