NNBA CARES - Special Needs Dance Classes

Center of Hope Reno, Anytime Fitness, and Satori Dancewear Partner with Northern Nevada Ballet Academy to Sponsor Special Needs Dance Classes for the Reno-Sparks Community

Reno, NV – August 18, 2025 – Northern Nevada Ballet Academy (NNBA) is proud to announce a new community partnership with Center of Hope Reno, Anytime Fitness (Longley Lane location), and Satori Dancewear to sponsor a Special Needs Dance Class for the Reno-Sparks community.

This collaboration is dedicated to creating an inclusive and supportive space where dancers of all abilities can experience the joy of movement, music, and self-expression. The Special Needs Dance Classes will be held at NNBA’s facility and led by Ms. Kia Crader, along with dedicated student volunteers, all committed to fostering confidence, creativity, and a sense of community for every dancer.

“Dance has the power to uplift and unite, and we are honored to bring this opportunity to our community with the support of such wonderful partners,” said Vinh Luong, Advisory Board Chairman of Northern Nevada Ballet Academy. “We believe every child should have the chance to experience the joy of dance.”

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and community enrichment. Center of Hope Reno, Anytime Fitness, and Satori Dancewear are joining forces with NNBA to make this program possible at no tuition cost to participating families.

Classes are held on Saturdays. Our Intermediate class is currently full, but we do maintain a waitlist. A few spots remain in our Special Needs Beginners class. As we welcome more community sponsors, we plan to expand and add additional classes.
