Dance Ability started out as a dance class run at a local dance studio for children with special needs. The class is designed and taught by an Occupational Therapist and Certified Dance Instructor. Every student is paired up with a volunteer “buddy”, a mentor to offer support and encouragement throughout the classes, and adapt the class to the right level of challenge for each student. This class has become so much more than just another dance class, with many students, families and volunteers experiencing incredible growth and development through this program, and most importantly sharing what we love to do most – DANCE!
It is our intention with this blog to:
a) Provide information about who we are, what we do, and how you can become a part of our team or family!
b) Share the joy of dance with more people through stories of inspiration, success, and growth experiences of our own students and volunteers
c) Connect with others who share in our vision and mission to collaborate on projects to bring dance to the lives of children with special needs and their families; and seek out opportunities to perform, teach, learn, and dance together!
