Adaptive Movement Classes
The Adaptive and Inclusive Movement (AIM) Initiative offers movement classes for students with disabilities or neurodiversity to move, dance, and learn in an inclusive and welcoming space.
Adaptive Movement Classes
Our Adaptive Movement Program provides a welcoming environment full of creative movement activities that are designed to match the needs and interests of each student with disabilities or neurodiversity. Dancers can be paired with one-on-one support or attend class independently and interact with other students and teachers. We work with caregivers to create a classroom where every student can feel successful.
One-on-One or Shared Support will be provided for each dancer, including personal care. At this time, we are unable to provide nursing or medical care, support severe challenging behaviors, including self-harm or harm to others, or have a history of running away. Dancers requiring specialized care in these areas are welcome to join our classes if a caregiver is provided by the family.
DDA Respite Funds Accepted.

DDA Funds Accepted for AIM Programs
We welcome families who want to pay for classes or activities with DDA respite hours.
Families who use respite hours must commit to the whole eight week session and sign a DDA respite policy agreement. See DDA Policies
If you do not have enough DDA respite hours to pay for all eight weeks of the session, you must pay out of pocket for the rest of the session.
We will bill DDA for the full eight weeks at the end of your session.
Please indicate DDA respite hours as a preferred form of payment on the intake form to help us plan.
Please ensure that you are dropping off and picking up within 15 minutes of class starting and ending. Otherwise, we must bill respite hours for that time.
Please remember to notify your Case Manager that you are beginning a new activity
