Movement and music can offer so many things to children with needs. land Danceability Special Need Preforming Arts, llc. is a non-profit business that offers a sliding scale to all interested parties and enroll anyone regardless of ability to pay for the class.

Please visit www.danceability.webs.com, email <mailto:specialneedkids%40gmail.com> specialneedkids@... or call 443-769-0507 Here are just some of the things that dance and music can offer to your child. Improving Gross Motor Skills Many kids with special needs have difficulty with motor skills. Whatever the type of dance studied, dance movements emphasize all body parts and the way they move. Children learn through dance to move their arms, legs and bodies smoothly and in a more coordinated way, improving motor skills. Dance tends to be a more enjoyable way to practice motor skills than simple exercise, because it is done to music. Improving Health All kids---not only those with special needs---can improve their health through dance. When children are dancing, they are moving: filling their lungs with air, strengthening bones and muscles, raising heart rates, and reaching their physical potential. Dance often improves mood as well, as endorphins are released during physical exertion. Increasing Flexibility Dance can help children with special needs become more flexible. Dancing of all types typically begins with a period of stretching, which increases muscle strength and flexibility. Growing Confidence and Social Skills Dance can inspire confidence in those who study it, no matter their age or abilities. In dance therapy, children learn to relate to others better as they work cooperatively to learn dance routines. Even the child who has great difficulty relating to others can experience personal fulfillment and increased confidence as he/she performs and is applauded for their efforts.
