Special Education Speech Therapy This is the first step for the young dancer, incorporating ballet movement in a semi-structured class using improvisation and musical play, and introducing center-floor work. These classes work at an age-appropriate level while developing strength, coordination, and musicality. This is a heart healthy fun class that has multifaceted benefits for children.
