Dance movement is a therapeutic form of exercise which is great not only for physical health but also mental and emotional health. As a special needs individual, dance possesses the ability to change their lives – even after one session. Yes, You Can Dance! offers dance therapy, which allows one to express emotions through movement that aren’t always easily expressed verbally. Even those with limited mobility are still excited to be able to express themselves in their own way through the expression of dance. Aside from this, ballroom dance is an outlet of stress relief, increases physical fitness, encourages creativity and builds self-esteem for those with special needs.

I just want to say thank you for giving my daughter a chance to dance. She is smiling and excited when she comes in each week! You guys are filling a void and doing great things for kids with a desire to dance who happen to be special needs.
