Dance Class for Children with Special Needs
Our dance school offers ballet dance classes for students with special needs. Exclusively taught by Sally Hart, the school’s founder and director, this dance class is created for Special Needs students who can walk without crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs, and follow multi-step directions. Students will enjoy 45-minutes of elementary ballet and imaginative stories designed for the development of gross and fine motor skills.
During the 1970’s Sally taught ballet to children with Down Syndrome while she attended W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax Virginia. Sally Hart says, “I love to see how excited the children get when something clicks, the tiniest things mean so much to them, and it’s just so rewarding for me.”
