SUNSHINE CLASS
DID YOU KNOW?
“Students with varying degrees of disabilities have the potential to become more social, better coordinated, and more confident by incorporating dance into their lives. Dance provides a child with the ability to express their emotions (verbally or non-verbally) in many creative ways. Dance can provide an outlet for a range of emotions from anger and aggression to joy and beauty. Another benefit is that dance encourages socialization (and) it can be inclusionary.”
