Accessibility, Inclusivity and Diversity in dance with AXIS Dance Company & Nadia Adame
Founded in 1987, California-based AXIS Dance Company has long been at the forefront of redefining dance and disability. Through world-class productions that challenge perceptions, AXIS quickly established itself as one of the first contemporary dance companies to integrate disabled and non-disabled dancers. AXIS has since toured extensively, performing in over 100 cities across the US, Europe, the UAE, and Russia, while also earning nine prestigious Isadora Duncan Dance Awards.
Current Artistic Director, Nadia Adame, began her international career as a disabled artist with AXIS in 2001 and has now returned to lead the company. An actress, writer, award-winning dancer, and choreographer, Nadia trained in flamenco and ballet at the Royal Conservatory of Dance and Drama in Madrid, Spain, before earning her BA in Theatre at the University of Colorado. Nadia was a company member with CandoCo, AXIS, and Compañía Y in Spain, further solidifying her reputation as a champion for inclusivity in dance.
Kickstarting a brand new season and month of Dance Politics, this episode explore the mission and vision of Nadia and the pioneering work of AXIS, uncovering the potential of the dance world to embrace diversity and inclusion more fully. Join us as we foreground dance in the background!

this really helps, thanks for the review and all these information!
I was really interested in dance masterclass but I wanted to see someone from the dance field but not from the dance masterclass to speak about it, a little bit more objective opinions. I'm so glad you made this video! Even though it's almost 1 year old I'm happy I found it at least now 🙏❤️
Hey Filip, thank you so much for watching the video and appreciating my analysis of this wonderful service. I definitely recommend you getting this, depending on your financial situation of course. I've been using it for a year now and it just gets better and better, so do let me know if you eventually decide to go for it 😁
i want to join
A definite recommend Carolyn, let me know how you find it later hopefully 😁🙏
I know this is an older video but can you comment on whether Dance Masterclass is good for true adult beginners?
Hey Caroline, thanks for the comment and curiosity for this brilliant service! My answer to that is yes, because the classes are centered around the exact fundamentals which makes them timeless. Whether you are a professional or someone just beginning their dance journey, there is surely something there for you 😁
I purchased an annual subscription and all the classes are still locked and customer service is nonexistent. There isn’t even a phone number to call.
Sorry to hear about your difficulties @meowmix8751, maybe try sending them an email at contact@dance-masterclass.com? Hope this helps! 😁
