Dance and Movement Class

Dance and movement class caters to kids with special needs

“You can use anything at home, and it will continue to benefit. You can stretch at home. You can do the dance moves at home. And you can show off at home, to all your family and friends.”

Abby Slupe, an instructor with Vestavia Dance, joins AC to talk about her inclusive dance class that focuses on building motor skills, flexibility, strength, and coordination.
