Our Mission

Bringing the joy of dance to people of all abilities. Because we believe dance is for EVERYBODY!
People with disabilities don’t always have the same opportunities in sports and in the arts. That's why Free 2 Be Me Dance was created. ​

Donate to Help Sustain Free 2 Be Me Dance!

Your donation helps provide inclusive dance classes for students of all abilities, ensuring no one is turned away due to their ability to financial need. Together, we can keep the joy of dance accessible for everyBODY!

What We Do

We offer dance classes designed specifically for people with disabilities in mind so that they have the same opportunities as their peers to reach their goals. Through technical training and performance opportunities, our dancers get the depth and breadth of a standard dance education tailored just for them.

Who We Are


Our staff are highly trained individuals who focus on the social and emotional wellbeing of our dancers. Each instructor and administrator manages the classroom with care and passion for their work. Learn more about our team below!

USC Dance & Ability
In the fall of 2023, we launched a pilot program with USC's Dance and Ability course. USC Students learned how to teach dance adaptively and led a class by themselves in the culminating performance. Our own Valena K, who has been with F2BMD since our start got the opportunity to speak on a panel!
​Because of it's success, this course will feature our organization and our dancers permanently starting the Fall semester of 2025.
