Creative Movement (Begins March 27th, Facilitated Social Activities Occurs During the March 6th & 13th Sessions Until Dance Begins)
The Creative Movement program through the Hussman Center for Adults with Autism is a new program employing dance, creative movement and text (multiple types of accessible formats available) as a means of increasing social participation, coordination, self-esteem and self-confidence! The program leads you through weekly group classes designed to facilitate social interaction via the alternative language of movement. Likewise, improvisation and self competence within expression are encouraged and practiced every week within the framework of the dance movement classroom.
