Experience of including people with special educational needs and disabilities

DanceEast holds 'Springboard' classes for both children and adults with additional needs. The classes are pre-school age, 4yrs+, 7yrs+and 16yrs+.

Our Adult Springboard class is for adults with additional needs and carers are not required to attend unless personal care and support is needed. The tutors have extensive experience teaching dance to adults with learning and physical difficulties.

This class helps the participants to adapt to different situations and it assists with their social, creative and physical development. Engaging props, themes and stimuli are used to create beautiful movement.

Participants will begin to explore choreography and how to put moves together to create routines or pieces that can be expressive, narrative, emotional or purely physical.

For further information about this class please contact Box Office on 01473 295230.
