Victoria Moore, AOS, is the founder of Victoria Moore Tap Dance and creator of the Tap for All program, an innovative approach that makes tap dance accessible for individuals with disabilities, mobility impairments, and older adults.
With over three decades of experience as a professional dancer, educator, and speaker, she has dedicated her career to expanding access to dance and redefining what participation in movement can look like.
Victoria developed adaptive tools, including tap mittens and tap boards, as well as a training and certification program that equips educators and therapists to implement inclusive, rhythm-based movement in their own settings. Her work integrates principles of rhythm, auditory feedback, and repetition to support cognitive, motor, and emotional engagement.
The Tap for All program has been utilized by recreation therapists in VA health centers from Puerto Rico to Northern California, supporting veterans through innovative, accessible movement experiences. Most notably, a Puerto Rico VA facility reported increased appointment compliance after implementation and replicated the program in their second health center.
Victoria is also the author of Tap Dance for All, Adapting Instruction for Disability and Mobility Impairment, which has been recognized in publications including the Journal of Dance Education.
Through her teaching, speaking, and program development, Victoria continues to lead a growing movement at the intersection of dance, inclusion, and therapeutic practice, creating pathways for all individuals to experience the joy, connection, and therapeutic power of rhythm without requiring them to stand.
