ABASI Dance Lab is the first branch of ABA Sports Innovations, founded by Dr. Mallory Quinn, a published researcher in the application of ABA to dance training. The studio integrates empirically validated, research-backed methods to improve athletic performance and motivation, drawing on decades of evidence-based practice originally developed for individuals with autism and other special needs. These techniques are now applied to dance education to foster skill acquisition, confidence, and emotional resilience. The studio’s unique approach combines private instruction with group training, offering complimentary assessments and a free trial class to help dancers begin their journey in a supportive, noncompetitive environment.
