VSA arts of Florida's mission is to create a society where people with disabilities can learn through, participate in and enjoy the arts.

 

Where to GO!

Where to GO! focuses on accessible programs for people with disabilities at arts venues across the state including theatres, concert halls, museums and zoos. These venues both welcome and accommodate people with disabilities. The organizations follow ADA guidelines and offer unique experiences to all patrons. We have just started to publish the directory, so it will grow over time. Please check back for new information as it comes.

Special Kids Dance & Performing Arts is a nonprofit organization that offers dance instruction and performing art programs to kids and young adults with special needs. We welcome kids of all abilities although our programs are designed for kids with special needs because our children learn at a slower pace and we understand that. Founder, Lisa Fultz is a parent of a child with Down syndrome who believes we should enhance our child's lives and help them be the best they can be and that is why we want to make your child feel special!

Classes available: Beginner Ballet & Tap, Tap & Hip-Hop, Tae Kwon Do.  Hopefully we will have vocal, drama, and music coming soon.
