Ability Dance Classes
Ballroom Fit is a Registered NDIS Provider
Capacity Building, Innovative Community Participation
One of the key Social and Community Participation activities we offer is Ability Dance – a specialised dance program designed for people with a range of physical, learning, and cognitive disabilities.
At Ballroom Fit, we recognise that no two dancers are alike. That’s why our classes are thoughtfully adapted to suit each individual’s needs. We place a strong focus on engagement, inclusion, and stimulation, ensuring that every dancer feels supported and encouraged to participate at their level. We aim to create a positive and uplifting environment where everyone can enjoy the benefits of movement to music.
The impact of our Ability Dance classes goes far beyond the dance floor. Our dancers experience increased self-confidence, improved social interaction, and a greater sense of belonging. Physically, many develop a heightened awareness of posture, balance, coordination, and fine motor skills — all of which can contribute to greater independence in daily life.
We offer both group dance classes and private lessons, giving individuals and families the flexibility to choose what suits them best. We actively encourage support workers, carers, and family members to join in and share the experience alongside their clients and loved ones. The sense of connection and community created in our classes is a powerful part of what makes them so special.
To find out more, we invite you to join our online community on the Ballroom Fit Private Facebook Group — a welcoming space where dancers, families, and support staff can connect, stay updated, and celebrate each other’s progress.
At Ballroom Fit, we don’t just teach dance steps — we build confidence, community, and inclusion. Everyone is welcome on the dance floor.

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 or Special Olympics or Para Dance Sport competitions.
