The National Centre for Dance Therapy offers various classes in adapted dance and dance therapy for clients with special needs.
Adapted dance is a recreational dance practice which has been modified to accommodate the needs of people with special needs, as, for instance (but not exclusively), people with limited mobility. Dance moves are taught in accordance to the skills and strengths of each participant, allowing them to develop a better mobility and body awareness. In this human and welcoming space, the pleasure of moving is the core motivation of each of our professionals.
All adapted-dance classes are offered by a dyad made up of a dance teacher and a health-care professional (for example, a dance therapist).
Our dance therapy classes use dance and movement as means to achieve a state of well-being, through the development of communication and self-awareness, motor skills, creativity, self-expression and self-esteem.
All dance therapy classes are taught by a certified dance therapist.
