I Can Dance Too | A Dance Class for Special Needs Children
Unleash your child's inner creativity with dance and watch them grow
Many parents of a child that has special needs are often hesitant when it comes to placing their child in a dance class. They fear their child may be a distraction or maybe too overwhelming for them.
Here we create a dance class that is specially for them, adapting movement for different level of abilities. The seemingly complex movements are broken down into steps before completing a whole movement.
Dance is a powerful tool not only for self-expression, but also for holistic well-being, as dance unites all aspects of an individual, mental, physical and emotional states. Dance helps create a sense of rhythm all of which enhances daily activities. It is a fun way to practice balance, coordination, motor skills, focus and awareness.
Most times, a child with special needs also wants to participate, communicate but struggles to express their feelings and thoughts to others. Dance is a purposeful movement that provides a unique non-verbal expression and feelings that is universally understood. This activity in a group builds a child’s confidence, self esteem and better social skills to help them grow.
