Dance as a Catalyst for Connection!

.
Dance for Mixed Abilities (Ages 10+)

Thursdays - 5:30-6:45 pm

This one-of-a-kind program offers those with physical and cognitive disabilities the opportunity to find joy and expression while fostering social connections through dance and movement. The longer class time allows for a more mindful pace of learning with time to embrace organic interactions as participants playfully connect to their bodies and the endless ways their bodies can move. Using dance as a catalyst for connection, this program is meant to nurture friendships, offering a sense of belonging in a warm and inclusive environment. This program is catered to participants with physical and cognitive needs, particularly with motor development delays and without major behavioural challenges including, but not limited to, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism and other developmental delays.
