DANCE PROGRAMS


Monroe, CT ​www.thedanceworkshop.us  
Unified Dance is offered for students with special needs entering grades 3-8 in the 2018 school year. Dance can be a unique and effective way to reach students with special needs because it is nonverbal. Dance can help students gain balance, allow them to express emotion, and gain muscle control. In dance, they interact socially through parallel interaction, which can be less overwhelming on sensitive nervous systems. Students will learn the basics of movement, rhythm, ballet fundamentals, and explore an introduction to jazz. Class instruction with Beth Salito.
Class will participate in a Winter Showcase and the annual June production.
This class is made possible with a grant from Ciara’s Light Foundation.
