On occasion, over the last decade,

 I have received several assignments for special needs.

While not my main specialty, or initial personal interest forte,

I never decline a request, or opportunity to grow.

I have fun and give the same level of attention and service, maybe a little more carefully.

I believe all persons have joy of learning dance movement, it is healthy.

UNDER SUPERVISION OF ANOTHER ARTS DIRECTOR,

 I usually accommodate special needs

children, teen, and adults art dance classes.

I am not currently super well versed or specifically highly trained in the handling and care of all

the types of special conditions, especially learning disability, limited range of motion, handicap, or deaf.   I work only under an advisor representative in your facility.

We tailor a lesson program to the interests of your group uniquely,

using props such as balls, balloons, chairs, ribbons, pretend, imagination, song and singing,

To develop co-ordination, rhythm, self-esteem, enjoyment, creativity, and history.

There are several awesomely talented dance companies in Miami, Florida USA

 who do this type of work very well and often. I have taken workshops for this in college, I was invited to attend for free. There are grants available and funding from arts commissions.

I am aware of mixed ability dance techniques, but don't pursue this coarse of study on my own, unless I am asked to teach a class nearby. There are traveling companies below:

I only accept short term substitute classes for special occasions,

until we place a caring specialist, who truly loves, has ample patience, and experience in this program.  I would want to study further before I accept a class.

If you are an administrator or caregiver and are interested in enrolling a program,

 here are some reference links.

If you are a dance teacher of special needs, email me your link and I will add it.

  If you have any more questions, please email me.  Thanks    HAPPY DANCING!!!!
