Adaptadance™ (6-11 yrs)

Dance For All! 

The Adaptadance™ program is for children who are neurodivergent, such as those with autism and other neurological or sensory processing disorders, or children who may benefit from the structure, smaller class size, and specialized curriculum.

This Adaptadance™ program is focused on conceptual dance education, and Anne Green Gilbert’s BrainDance research providing a strong foundation of creative movement where dance concepts are explored weekly. Creative dance, imagination, and expression are combined with developmentally appropriate movement, music, and dance technique to create a class that is fun for all!  Dancers and their caregivers explore a variety of music genres and props to develop their dance ability. Teachers will also work with dancers on classroom routine and etiquette, taking turns, and working with others. 

We have received a grant from the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association (CPRA) Reaching Each and Every One: A Community Sport Intervention Program. 

Adaptadance™ is now unparented: Teacher Meg and respite staff will allow us to have a 3:1 ratio in the class. Parents and Caregivers, if you would still prefer to attend class with your child, you are more than welcome to. 

Program will be 50% subsidized: You will first register for the session at full price. Every week when you attend class, you will then receive 50% of your class as credit or refund. We will provide the amount of credit or refund at the end of Spring Session. Class credit can then be used for the next session. 
 
 We understand that children are not always able to attend due to illness or vacation. Please simply let us know of your absence in advance in the BAND. You will then receive your 50% credit/refund of the class. By letting us know in advance, it will allow others on the waitlist to attend as a drop-in. If we are able to fill the spot in time, you will receive 100% in class credit/refund. 

Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada par l’entremise de l’initiative Le sport communautaire pour tous. Éliminer les obstacles et augmenter les taux de participation au sport chez les populations sous-représentées sont en tête des priorités du governement du Canada.
