Dancers of different races, ages and genders are aboard an imaginary sailboat with green sails and a red mast flag under three museum arches. Waves ripple past one dancer joyfully extending his arms from his wheelchair, another standing with her arms outstretched, and two more making shapes with their arms and legs.

Join DanceAbility, Detroit's movement and sound improvisations, at the DIA. The event will start the Great Hall, where we'll introduce ourselves through moving (and pausing) in all our different ways, dancing with live musicians.

The program will travel at a pace that works for all, improvising with the art around us and the public who may join us. We'll end the day at a sculpture outside the museum, weather permitting. Wear shades of blue, since we are the water and the boat flowing through...

DanceAbility at the DIA is a program of Detroit Disability Power, funded in part by the Michigan Arts & Culture Council.
