Expand Movement
Formerly Inspire Inclusion Dance
If you can breathe, you can dance.
Join us for Fall programs in 2026!
Dance. Together. Now.
Expand Movement is a dance program for dancers with and without disabilities. Our mission is to bring all bodies together in movement with an understanding that we all have beautiful moves to share on the dance floor. If you can breathe, you can dance and we can't wait to breathe and move with you!
Move with us in community.
