Adaptive Dance & Movement Therapy Program
Certified Coaches, one-to-one support and typical class fun!
We offer day and evening programs catering to neurodivergent needs. Classes range from small (non-verbal supports) to large (independent learners) and we offer an opportunity for participants to be involved in a showcase for parents, guardians, families and friends. We aim to offer parents/guardians respite care while class participants work on social and motor skills through recreational dance and movement therapy.
