We are excited to announce that starting this Fall we will be adding Adaptive Dance programming to our current class offerings! Adaptive dance classes can provide a more flexible, individually supportive environment for young dancers with specialized needs.
This Developmental Dance class for ages 4-8 will emphasize:
-
building social/emotional skills including self esteem, peer relationships, teamwork and self expression through movement activities.
-
practicing following a classroom routine.
-
movement coordination, body awareness and exploration of new movement styles.
​
This specialized classroom environment will allow more flexibility for all levels of participation and can be adapted to students’ individual needs. Developmental dance will provide experiences that support and enrich students’ development of skills while engaging in fun, expressive activities!
