Boston Ballet’s Adaptive Dance Program Expands to the North Shore!
Spaces
are still available in Adaptive Dance class for children ages 7 - 12 at the
brand new facility in Marblehead!
The
Adaptive Dance Program, founded in 2002, is a successful joint venture between
Boston Ballet and the Department of Physical Therapy, Children's Hospital
Boston. The program reflects an innovative collaboration between the staff from
both institutions and is designed to foster a love of dance and creative
expression in children with Down Syndrome. Although the primary goal of the
Adaptive Dance classes is for the children to experience the sheer joy of dance
and music, program evaluation suggests that it has many other important
benefits to the children who participate including improvements in their
coordination, overall fitness, balance, focus, listening, self-esteem, self-expression,
rhythm and musicality.
