ME! (Movement for Everyone!) Class

Artists will have tons of fun and make new friends while gaining balance of their body halves, developing muscle control, and expressing emotion.

ME! is an awesome way for young people with special needs to get involved in an extracurricular activity while improving motor skills, confidence, and socialization. Dance is a joyful, unique and effective as a way to reach students with alternative needs due to the nonverbal nature of the art form. Through creative movement, improvisation guidance, simple patterns, sequencing, and repetition, students will learn the fundamentals of movement, rhythm, and dance.

 

We invite accompanying companions to join class so the artists feel supported and comfortable navigating interactions with new people and experiences in a new environment.
