Abilities Dance Boston: Intersectional Disability Rights Through Dance

At Abilities Dance Boston, we champion intersectional disability rights in the greater Boston area and beyond. Our mission is to elevate diverse identities within and outside the Disability community through our professional performing company and community engagement programs. We foster meaningful conversations to build equity across multigenerational and multicultural communities.

Our Impact

Abilities Dance's choreography has appeared in the MFA, Links Hall in Chicago, Gibney Dance in NYC, The Series: Vol IV at the Ailey Citigroup Theatre in NYC, and more. Through our community engagement programs, we have delivered lectures and workshops at schools, universities, and organizations across the country, including Boston Public Schools, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Boston University. Our commitment to accessibility and equity has been recognized with numerous accolades, including the 2020 MA Cultural Council UP Award and the 2023 Boston Cultural Council Equity Award. We are also proud recipients of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce’s 2020 Ten Outstanding Young Leaders' Award. Now, our programming reaches approximately 5,000/year in the greater Boston area, along with nationally and internationally through our live streamed performances and online classes/workshops.
