We offer an 8-week group dance program specifically designed for dancers with developmental disabilities. We provide movement options for everyone and our dance classes are wheelchair accessible and paced to suit the group.
Each week we will start class with a warm up including mobilizing, strengthening, stretching and balancing exercises. (10 minutes)
The main body of the class is broken down into two parts. The first is where we will learn basic dance technique through short exercises. This will enable dancers to identify vocabulary to certain steps. Our curriculum will utilize a variety of dance genres from Hip hop, Latin, Musical theater and Jazz. ( 15 minutes)
We will then move onto the choreography section of the class where we will work on a fun routine that will inspire creative movement as well leading towards group choreography. (20 minutes ). The session will end with a short cooldown dance and simple stretch. (5-10 minutes)
Our goals are to work on improving coordination, stamina, balance, confidence and musicality whilst being part of an energizing and supportive group. There will be opportunities to share the choreography in friends and family showcases and our annual show.
