Special Needs Dance Class

If you have children and find that music makes them groove and jump to the tunes of rhythm and beats, it is probably time to enroll them in dance classes. There are classes all over the world which offer dance training to children with special needs, giving extra attention to children who need extra care.

Dance plays an important role in every human life. Even more so for children with disabilities or specific developmental challenges, as it is an outlet for them to express their feelings. These dance classes play an important part in their healing process, as they are a nonverbal form of therapy and communication between the teacher and the child. Children with Autism and Down Syndrome are treated in these classes. Other children with any kind of physical or emotional challenges are treated through these dance classes. This can work wonders for them. Dance in this way can work as a dance therapy for relaxation and fun. The different dance styles are extremely easy and make the children comfortable. The best part of these dance therapy lessons is that the teacher need not say a single word but the dance movements are enough to express their thoughts. Emotions can be revealed through the movements the therapy is planned as per the emotional and physical requirement of each special needs child.

Today, there is growing demand from parents of special needs children, to come up with new and innovative methods of teaching. Dance is a form where the teaching can be combined with some movements, resulting in positive effects. Many countries are still not aware of these programs and some are trying to adapt to these new teaching and healing styles. When the teaching is combined with music and dance the brain acts in a different way. It starts recollecting and reorganizing things. There are many more levels to these dance therapies. The advantages of the dance classes for special children are:

• Improved hearing
• Enhanced processing
• Execution and repetition
• Fine motor skills
• Improved execution
• Sensory improvement
• Improvement in memory
• Speech confidence

These special needs children can then gain confidence and can join other normal children or dancers. Children with any kind of physical or emotional disabilities are gifted with something special, but they always need help to find a way to express them. Dance can be a mode of support to express their feelings and communicate with others through movements. For these special needs children, dance can be part of a daily routine or a daily exercise regime for them, to help improve their concentration.
