Making Dreams Come True. . . . .
Special Needs Dance
Villa West is committed to providing quality dance and acrobatic lessons to ALL children including children with special needs. We want children who have often felt excluded from these types of classes to have the same opportunity for fun, recreation and socialization that dancing and acrobatics can provide!
Our classes are offered in 8-week programs, held weekly, and last for 30 minutes per class. Please note that class length and class size are decisions that are made at the discretion of the instructor. These decisions are made to maximize the benefit each child receives.
Our classes are designed by dance and gymnastic professionals with consideration in working with children with special needs. Trained instructors will be guiding each lesson. All of our instructors and assistants have undergone background checks prior to their affiliation with Villa West. Most importantly, our instructors and assistants are eager to bring recreation and fun to children through dance and acrobatics!
Current programs include dance and acrobatics. The class instructor guide students in a variety of dance styles with each new lesson; acrobatic skills will also be explored.
FEES
The cost of each 8-week program is $80.00, payable at the first lesson of the 8-week program.
