Service Description
[Virtual] Rhythm Without Borders: Dance Styles from Around the World by Taylor Matocha on Thursday evenings, 6:00-8:00 pm CST from 4/1/27- 5/6/27, online using Zoom Travel the world through dance! In this class, we’ll explore dance traditions from across the globe. From jazz, hula, and ballet to Chinese, Indian, and Latin dance, join us as we uncover the rich histories, cultural traditions, music, and unique characteristics behind each style. Discover how dance can tell stories, express emotions, celebrate culture, and bring people together. We’ll watch the pro’s take the floor, try some moves of our own, and get creative with some crafting activities inspired by the dances we’re learning about, like making paper leis, origami dragons, and even DIY maracas. No dance experience is needed, just come ready to learn, move, create, and experience the many ways people around the world express themselves through dance!
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
