Create, express, & achieve with us.
Barrier-Free's expressive arts and social classes are the perfect opportunity to "test-drive" our inclusive programming model before joining an Inclusive Theater Company. Classes are taught by highly-skilled teaching artists and cover a range of topics from dance, improv, friendship-building, and more!

Participant agreement
When registering for each class and social club, participants must agree to and sign the following agreement:
I agree to behave in an appropriate and professional manner at every in-person or online class. I agree to arrive on time and prepared for each class. I agree to respect others and their ideas. I agree to respect and care for all equipment required for the class. I know that Barrier-Free has a zero-tolerance policy for drugs, violent behavior, sexual/physical harassment, and bullying (including cyberbullying). If I participate in any of these specific kinds of behavior, no warnings (verbal and/or written) will be given. I will be simply dismissed from the program immediately and will receive no refund. I understand that I am expected to follow all of the agreements listed above. If I do not, I will first be given a verbal warning. If there is a violation again, I will then have a written warning. The third time, I will either be put on a probation or dismissed from the program. I understand that I am responsible to arrange for my own transportation to and from in-person classes and agree to be picked up on time. I agree to be photographed and have my name shared via Barrier-Free's website and social media. Above all, I will always do my best and have fun!
