Here is a local dance studio with
special needs connections:
Janet is a special education teacher who
understands the needs of children with all disabilities. She
integrates children with special needs into her classes, makes them
feel welcome and includes them in the recital. The classes she
offers include Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Hawaiian and Gymnastics.
You pay monthly so if the children aren't having fun, you can pull
them and not be concerned that money has already been invested. She
has had children with Austism, Downs Syndrom, Epilepsy, learning
disabilities and she has also had a child in a wheel chair
participate. She places the children with a teacher that isn't
concerned about making the children a star and with other children
whose parent's aren't concerned about them being a star. The age
group is 3-17 but the children must be potty trained.
It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for our
special kids who have the love for music.
