Introducing
ExplorAbility for Youth
The Royal Winnipeg Ballet School’s
Recreational Division is proud to
launch ExplorAbility for Youth in
the 2015/16 school season. The
program is designed for children
ages 13-17 years (and can extend
to older individuals currently
enrolled in senior high programs)
with different abilities who wish to
experience the joy of movement and
self-expression. Classes are focused
on developing body awareness, selfexpression, posture and alignment,
all in a creative and supportive
environment. Dancers will explore
dance techniques as well as various
movement qualities.
Exercises and activities are
designed to encourage individual
development as well as interaction
between dancers and assistants/
respite workers. A variety of music

Session Dates:
from classical to pop will be used in
class. Wheelchairs, walkers and other
devices are welcome. Participants
are guided by RWB faculty member,
Jacqui Ladwig, through a customized
exploration of dance and selfexpression that includes individual
and group exercises. During the
classes, they experience many forms
of movement, patterning and music
in a fun and supportive environment.
After the success of ExporAbility for
Adults which was introduced in the
2010/11 school year, the RWB School
saw an opportunity to open up the
program for youth. ExplorAbility for
Youth and ExplorAbility for Adults
classes are offered once per week,
in blocks of 10-week sessions, in the
RWB’s state-of-the-art studio facilities
at 380 Graham Avenue.
