Inclusive Dance Education

Presented by Beyond Words: Music & Dance Center with peer models provided by North Pointe Ballet, Adult Showstopper Camp teaches the performing arts skills of singing, dancing and drama in a creative environment with peers of all abilities. Each day will focus on a different theme or show that culminates in a performance at the end of the week. A typical day will include vocal warmups, physical warmups, learning a song, integrating dance movements, drama exercises, character/team building, and creative expression interventions. Adaptations that are considered when working with adults with developmental disabilities include sensory integration, multiple models of learning (visual, modeling, verbal), and integrating multiple ways of participating (communication & physical adaptations) through positive reinforcement and presuming each individuals’ intellect.
