Learning Needs
Story Ballet is designed to be inclusive of all learners, including neurodiverse kids. Brain Dance and DEL (Dance Ed Laboratory) teacher tools allow us to guide dancers through the phases of human development, addressing gaps.
Parental Guidance
Safety is very important! Please be sure that your child has a clear space in which they may move freely. They will be jumping, diving, twirling, sneaking, and locomoting in all sorts of ways. Make sure that they have footwear that is not too slippery so as to avoid slipping falls. Please be close by in case they need you. Thanks for your support!
