Adaptive Dance Enriches…

Social Growth

in our inclusive, accessible classes, every child can have fun learning to dance alongside their friends. Our program incorporates social skills like turn taking, waiting in line, and teamwork. We encourage our students to take an active role in a supportive and accepting class environment.

Physical Development

Our dance curriculum improves physical skills including balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility. We work with every child from the level they are at, guiding them toward important developmental goals.

Mental Skills

From focus and problem solving to creativity and expression, ADEPT’s classes integrate the mental skills kids need to succeed. We believe our program should enhance learning, and we shape our curriculum to help each class meet learning goals that extend beyond dance class.

Our Curriculum


ADEPT provides quality dance education to students of all ages, levels, and abilities. We help students develop and improve physical, social, mental, and emotional skills through dance practice and performance. Instructors are trained to understand the basic concepts of Applied Behavior Analysis and are open to feedback from teachers, therapists, and parents. ADEPT strongly believes the program should enhance participants’ learning, not interrupt it. We are happy to accommodate each student’s needs and strive to include the social, motor, and instructional goals of all participants.

Program Options and Additions

Styles

Ballet and jazz are the most popular and easily accessible styles. However, we are happy to work with your organization to modify the program to include tap, hip-hop, lyrical/contemporary, musical theater, etc. Some of these styles may require the students to buy specific dancewear or may make it more difficult to incorporate students of multiple ages and skill/ability levels into one class.

Performance

Your organization may choose to add a small performance yearly or twice a year for participants, if that is something the participants and their families would be interested in. During this performance students would showcase the skills and dances they have learned during the program. This can be added to the contract at a later date, but no later than 4 months before the proposed performance date. A performance is an additional cost, depending on what elements your organization chooses to add to the program.
