Program Description
The Better Together assembly uses disability awareness and the beauty of dance to promote understanding, kindness, and respect for people of all abilities. Students will be introduced to talented dance performers who will share their personal journeys of challenge and triumph. Students will watch wheelchair dance performances by dance couples made up of one seated and one standing partner who defy expectations while celebrating the beauty of diverse abilities. Students will have an opportunity to make their voices heard during a question-and-answer segment, engaging directly with the performers and allowing for a deeper connection and understanding. Participants will be invited to join a mini-dance lesson and experience the joy of movement from both seated and standing perspectives. This interactive dance lesson will help students understand how people can work together to create something beautiful and fun, if they are given the opportunity and tools to participate and learn.
