SPA's Special Needs Program: Spectrum
|
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 alternate path for self-exploration and communication. It is a process where they can discover themselves through any art form, to let go, to express, and release.
Your child will experience ...
* 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, 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.
