Physically Integrated Dance

Keshet’s professional dancers conduct youth and adult classes and workshops for individuals with varying levels of physical disabilities and dance experience. Keshet pairs dancers with physical disabilities with able-bodied dancers, which often include siblings, parents and peers, to create professional-quality dance works. As a result, dancers and audience members share in the idea of unlimited possibilities through the experience of dance.

Physically integrated dancers have the opportunity to participate in Keshet productions, including Spring Concert, Choreographers' Showcase, and the Nutcracker on the Rocks. Auditions for Nutcracker on the Rocks begin in mid to late August.

“Dancing has changed my life because I feel like I don't have a disability when I dance. On stage, I feel free, and I feel beautiful.”
