The Whole Child Dance Method™
Whole Child Dance Method™
Dance to Learn®️ is the Whole Child Dance Method™️, an approach that goes BEYOND teaching dance techniques to nurture a child's lifelong love of learning.
BUT WHO EXACTLY IS THE WHOLE CHILD?
The Whole Child
The Whole Child, as we emphasize in Dance to Learn®️, is the embodiment of addressing & nurturing all facets of a child's development. This includes their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, sensory, & linguistic dimensions. We recognize that a child is not merely a dance student but a multifaceted individual with a diverse set of needs and capabilities.
