Boston Ballet’s Adaptive Dance Program Expands to the North Shore! PDF Print E-mail

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.

Class Dates:     Saturdays, March 6th - May 22nd

 Class Time:      9:00 - 10:00 am

 Location:         Boston Ballet Marblehead Studio (YMCA)

                        40 Leggs Hill Road

                        Marblehead, MA 01945
