Special Needs Children:

Many children benefit enormously from dance training; children with special needs are no exception. For children with disabilities like Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and Down syndrome dance classes not only assist in the development of kin aesthetics, but also encourage   social interaction and physical stamina in each class.

All children who participate in the weekly dance classes are invited to perform in our end of year concert, regardless of their special needs. All medical conditions and medications must be noted on the enrollment form for emergency medical reasons.
