Update:

  • Programs are currently being offered online and outdoors, because people can transmit the omicron variant indoors regardless of vaccination status.
  • In solidarity with dancers and community members who are immune-compromised, at high risk for severe COVID-19 or Long Covid, and/or have health conditions that mean they cannot safely be vaccinated, we are focused on online offerings.
  • When in-person programs resume, the COVID-19 Safety Plan for Creative Momentum will be updated according to the latest guidance.

Introduction:

The feet of nine adult dancers are in a circle. They are wearing a variety of sizes and types of casual shoes, boots, socks with a cloud pattern, and running shoes. 5 people have just one shoe visible pointing to the middle, and 3 people have both their feet resting on the foot rests of their wheelchairs.

Would you like to explore movement in a supportive setting, laugh and dust off some stress? Do you know of a group who would enjoy being active and creative together, either online or outdoors?

No prior dance experience is needed, and there is no “wrong” way to move in these sessions.

Sessions include a variety of activities for moving in new ways, releasing tension, connecting and having fun.

We work in collaboration with a dozen communities. For examples of where we work see the organizations page. We also organize workshops for artists in partnership with the InterdepenDance Collective.
