Welcome!

danceABILITIES™ is an accessible-dance program in Toronto, Canada. Classes and workshops aim to support health and wellness, creative expression, intellectual curiosity and collective fun. Set to popular and diverse music, dancers and non-dancers alike, engage in enlivened artistry and authenticity of self through the medium of dance. danceABILITIES programs are “person-first-focused,” however, to assist locations with booking information, diagnostic-related wording is used.

“Miriam Schacter is remarkably talented. She has the ability to help people living with dementia recall pleasant experiences and past accomplishments through music and dance. And, she takes the time to empower the person living with dementia by drawing from a wealth of socially engaging dance-based communication techniques and joyful repetitive movements.”

Phylicia Lafrenere, MSW, Greenview Lodge Dementia Care Programming
