The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of its members and
all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination,
and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

Audio description for dance performances is still very rare, but that
doesn’t mean that blind and visually impaired audiences should be satisfied
when the audio description on offer is of low quality.

Several times over the last 3 years, Krishna has taught a popular audio
description workshop called: *Yeah, But Was It Good? Learning How to Listen
to Audio Description for Dance Critically*

But each time this workshop has offered, Krishna has discovered fewer and
fewer examples of audio described dance available to explore online.
Colleagues, companies and choreographers in the wide world of dance have
made less of their work available in ways that prioritize the inclusion of
blind and low-vision audiences — until now…

*Save The Date!*

On *Saturday, December 13 2025 from 4 PM to 6 PM* (Eastern Time), Dark Room
Ballet will be sponsoring an audio described dance film showcase, with
contributions from at least 3 blind/VI choreographers, and including new
audio described work from the American Ballet Theatre!

We are still working out all the details, but this event will be free and
open to all, and you can even register starting now, at the following link:
