Dancing Above the Barre provides an opportunity for young children with disabilities to build their self-confidence, strengthen their bodies, create new friendships, and to live out a dream: the chance to be a dancer.

The Program

The program consists of seven weeks of classes (one hour per week), culminating in a presentation. Participants range in age from four years to twelve years of age, with modifications available for older and younger participants as well. Currently, there are no dance programs of this nature in the Greensboro area.

A local physical therapist serves as a consultant to develop a dance program specifically for young children with physical disabilities. Each position or movement has modified versions available depending on the child’s abilities and needs.

College student volunteers serve as helpers. These helpers attend a training session before the classes begin as well as a get-together with the dancers and their families to establish relationships before entering the dance classroom.
