A DANCE CLASS FOR ME! Not your typical dance class A Dance Class For Me! They move on their own without assistance or hand over hand manipulation.
An inclusive movement/music program utilizing Autism Movement Therapy® for students who are on the Autism Spectrum or have any other issue like Sensory Processing Disorder that prevents them from participating in "typical" dance class. Perhaps a student's behavior interferes with the class or the student cannot wear dance clothes or tolerate the music. In this class the student's behavior is not a
n issue, they can wear whatever they can move in, and they learn how to tolerate with the music. Developed for non-verbal moderate to severe autistic students, this class has many extraordinary benefits. By learning to tolerate the little dance world in a dance room the students learn they are in a safe space. As the weeks go on, every attempt to dance with me is celebrated. Their only job is to copy the instructor. In the process their brains are stimulated and challenged. Because of neuroplasticity new neuro-pathways are created, these new pathways encourage communication between the left and right hemisphere of the brain. Along with learning movement their brain makes new connections which may actually encourage speech. Instructor Elizabeth Chacon earned a BA in Dance, is certified in Autism Movement Therapy Provider Level II, and Reiki Master. If you have tried other activities without success because other instructors, even in special needs activities, may be too impatient to work with your child, please don't give up. Or if you are concerned that your child's behavior is to aggressive for a class, we can start with private lessons until the child learns to self-regulate. Give me a call for an assessment. Classes are in Irvine, CA. Please contact Elizabeth Rose Chacon for more information.
