Dance as a Catalyst for Connection!

.

Dance for Physical Needs (Ages 10+)

Thursdays - 5:45-7:15 pm

This one-of-a-kind program offers those with physical disabilities the opportunity to break physical barriers through dance while fostering social connections through movement based social games. The longer class time allows for organic interactions to be embraced as participants playfully connect to their bodies and the endless ways their bodies can move. Using dance as a catalyst for connection, this program is meant to nurture friendships, offering a sense of belonging in a warm and inclusive environment. This program is catered to participants with physical needs including, but not limited to, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida or other physical mobility challenges.
