Ability Dance Classes

Ability Dance is a program where dancers use the body as their instrument. Dance is self-expression. Our Ability Dance Perth classes encourage our dancers to express themselves to music in a fun and supportive environment.

The Ballroom Fit friendly coaches cater to various physical, learning and cognitive disabilities. We can adapt classes to each individual’s needs, always looking to ensure everyone is stimulated and engaged throughout the sessions. As well as social and confidence benefits, our dancers develop a greater awareness of their posture, balance, coordination and fine motor skills.

Ballroom Fit offer group dance classes and private lessons.

We encourage support workers and family members to participate with their clients where possible.

Why not join us for a dance with us, after all dancing is for everyone!

Class Benefits

Dancing not only improves physical movement and capabilities, it also promotes overall wellbeing. Dance provides individuals confidence in their abilities and social interaction.

Aside from the benefit of being part of a shared group activity, there are many opportunities for our dancers to be involved in community activities through displays and local DanceSport competitions.
