    Ellice Patterson of Abilities Dance writes:

    Abilities Dance was created to provide a professional platform for dancers of all physical abilities.  We create the choreography to emphasize the dancers' strengths and build on their limitations.  We utilize composers to create music customized to the movements and emotions conveyed in the piece.  The customized piece gives an organic and unique experience that will engage and inspire audiences.

    Our first show entitled "Abilities" centers around how physical challenges can affect a person and their relationships, specifically familial and romantic.  Throughout their personal and relationship struggles, they learn to find the strength within themselves, re-connect in their relationships, and embrace their abilities.

    Posted Wednesday November 16 2016 at 1:09 pm

    Set in 1595, this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom, two brothers who are desperate to write a hit play.  When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first MUSICAL!

    Something Rotten! is Broadway's big, fat hit!  (New York Post).

    With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, Something Rotten! is The Producers + The Book of Mormon x The Drowsy Chaperone.  Squared!  (New York Magazine).
