Adaptive Dance Program at the Festival Ballet Providence (RI)
Festival Ballet Providence and Meeting Street School have teamed up to
offer an Adaptive Dance Program. Based on a successful program developed
by Boston Children’s Hospital and Boston Ballet, the program is
designed to foster a love of dance and creative expression in children
with Down Syndrome. Although the primary goal of the program is for the
children to experience the joy of dance and music, it also offers other
important benefits. These include improvements in coordination, overall
fitness, balance, self-esteem, self-expression, teamwork, rhythm, and
musicality.
