Adaptive Show Choir
*This program is not currently running but will resume in fall semester*
What is Adaptive Show Choir?
Volunteers are paired one-on-one with individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities to learn music and basic choreography together in preparation for a concert at the end of the semester. It's a great place to form long-lasting friendships, sing songs, and learn new dance moves!

We had a couple choir members in wheel chairs last semester and one of them didn't always like to dance with us. One day, though, she planted herself between me and my partner, Sara, and it was so fun to hold her hand and dance and sing with her! She got so excited when we did, too, and just wouldn't stop grinning. It's amazing to see how music and dance affects people in the most positive ways and it's such a blessing to be a part of that!
Hey you amazing, generous students! Just want to thank you for another wonderful semester of giving, singing, choreographing, creating, hugging, loving, and most of all, providing a community of belonging for a population that usually struggles to find that. I think you're doing one of the most important things on campus!
