The School of Performing Arts is pleased to announce the development of several workshops in Music, Dance, Musical Theatre, and Visual Arts geared toward children with special needs.
|
Through creative arts, children with disabilities are encouraged to maximize their potential in a supportive setting to celebrate music, movement, theatre and fine arts. The use of music, dance and imagery through art allows the child an alternative path for self-exploration and communication. It is a process where they can discover themselves through any art form, to let go, express and release.
Your child will experiene
- Increased ability to move and with more ease and freedom
- Development of a deeper trust and respect for their body
- Increased self awareness, self confidence and, self discipline as well as team building
- Development of listening and concentration skills along with social skills
- Promotion of a sense of pride and achievement
