Atypical Dance Initiative
The Atypical Dance Initiative aims to enrich the lives of neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum, through dynamic and engaging ballet classes. We believe that dance, as a non-verbal language, has the power to enhance:
​
-
Mind-body connection
-
Social skills and interaction
-
Artistic and emotional expression
-
Self-awareness and connection with others
-
Physical coordination and motor skills
-
Musicality and rhythm
-
And much more
Currently, this program is offered to neurodivergent preschool children ages 3-5 in collaboration with The Haven and Easterseals. Together, we’re creating a safe and welcoming space where every child can thrive through the joy of movement.
