ESO Dances!

ESO Dances (Expanding Sociability Opportunities) are a fun way for young adults with intellectual disabilities and college student volunteers to get to know one another. By highlighting sociability, the dances make a positive difference in the lives of young adults with and without disabilities. ESO Dances promote awareness, understanding, and acceptance of people with a variety of special needs.
