In this special extended edition of a CSI Today News Brief, CSIToday sits with Jackie Castore, Programs Director with Chance 2 Dance, an organization dedicated to offering inclusive and accommodating special needs dance classes, and Jacky Zhao, CSI Alum and Chance 2 Dance Ambassador, to discuss Chance 2 Dance’s recent partnership with CSI as part of the Creative Exchange program.
Originally founded in Florida, Chance 2 Dance expanded its reach to New York City, bringing its mission of inclusivity and accessible dance education to a larger community. This expansion allowed C2D to connect with more individuals of all abilities, offering adaptive dance classes that cater to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional needs. The program’s move to NYC has provided a platform for collaboration with local artists, educators, and organizations, further enriching its curriculum and impact. By creating a safe and supportive environment, C2D empowers participants to express themselves through dance, building confidence, physical fitness, and a sense of belonging, while promoting inclusivity in the performing arts.
