<p style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CLEVELAND, OH - A group compromised of nine adults over age forty have rekindled an appreciation of dance and want to share their love of movement with local
seniors. The AdVerb Project is a group comprised of local community members taking Dance for Everyone classes at the Verb Ballets studio in Shaker Heights. The Dance for Everyone classes
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">are</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> open to anyone who shares the love of dance. Dance classes are available for a variety of different ability levels from beginner
to advanced. The program serves over 200 students annually ages 13-65 and up. </span></p>

<p style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The AdVerb Project developed out of adult learners looking to experience what it is like to be a professional dancer and to learn to perform. Verb Ballets' Associate
Director, Richard Dickinson leads a performance workshop where community members participate in the process of developing a piece for performance including learning choreography and performance techniques. Rehearsals are held once a week. </span></p>
