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.”
