What accessibility information is available for Children and Teens Programs?

The School at the Mark Morris Dance Center proudly instructs disabled and non-disabled students in an inclusive instruction environment. All faculty have access to regular training in providing adaptive and inclusive learning environments. Additionally, families have the option to share information related to specific student needs during the registration process. All information shared at registration by families is sent to faculty during the registration period.

Classes in The School including Creative Dance (Ages 4-6), Fundamentals A (Ages 6-8), and Fundamentals B (Ages 7-9), are all staffed with Teaching Artists and Assistant Teaching Artists. Classes in Levels 1-5 do not typically have Assistant Teaching Artists staffed in them. Creative Dance classes have a class capacity of 18 students or less and Fundamentals A and B students have a class capacity of 20 students or less. Classes in Levels 1-5 have a capacity of 20-25 or less depending on the size of the studio. Additional staff may be placed as a support in levels outside of Creative Dance and Fundamentals A and B on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the education staff.

Adaptive Dance classes are for those students who wish to opt into a class specifically for disabled dancers. These classes have a capacity of 10 students or less and are staffed with a Teaching Artist and at least one Assistant Teaching Artist. Family members or Caregivers may opt to join a student in the Adaptive Dance classroom if they wish to do so.
