Dancers must be 3-6 years old by October 1 to enroll in Sparkle Integrative Dance.
Integrative Dance is a special needs dance class for students ages 3 - 6 who have any physical or cognitive disability. We welcome students who are on the autism spectrum, have Down syndrome, use an assistive device, or have any other special need.
Special needs students participate alongside neurotypical peers, or "Integrative Buddies," who have been hand-selected to join the class from within our studio community.
You’ll love that each class intentionally nurtures the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of each student.
Physically, Integrative Dance improves balance, agility, and gross motor development.
Students develop social skills such as respect, teamwork, and encouragement. They also develop classroom skills such as following directions, taking turns, and giving your best effort.
This is an emotionally safe place to explore self-expression.
Teachers nurture cognitive development by utilizing patterns, challenging dancers to recall a sequence of steps, and more. In addition, weekly coloring sheets that display something the students learned in class that week further facilitate the child's understanding and retention of class content.
Most students attend class with a caregiver; typically a parent, older sibling, babysitter, or therapist. The caregiver assists the student as needed in class, offering support and one-on-one guidance.
Integrative Dance is a performing class, and students are always so proud to dance on stage with their teacher in their fabulous costumes. Don't worry, we won't ask caregivers to perform on stage :).
