Dance aids with body awareness or a comfort with understanding of one’s abilities. Dance also helps with confidence and social skills. Interacting with others of like needs, in a non-judgmental setting, with a trained and patient instructor, enhances and encourages both social integration and confidence. On a more artistic note, dance allows creative expression, both individually and in a group setting, encourages exercise, and promotes healthier living. An argument can be made that dance stimulates the intellect and learning as well.

Throughout the class we incorporate dance steps to help cross-body movement, co-ordination, rhythm and musicality also assists in learning to concentrate, take turns, co-ordinate several body parts at the same time and counting music.

Keeping the class fun and enjoyable I like to finish of my class with a reward for their hard work. This involves sometimes a game or stickers!
