DanceAfrica in the Virtual Classroom Special Needs

This extended 14-session dance residency, led by teaching artists with experience working with diverse populations, modifies the DanceAfrica in the Classroom program for those with special needs. Students learn about cultures and customs from Africa and its diaspora, and embrace their creativity in dance and movement classes that are developmentally appropriate and responsive to each student’s abilities. Mini-residencies are available if schools prefer a shorter number of workshops.
