“What an outstanding program for our students with special needs! It was educational in that it requires focus, the following of directions and the completion of a specific movement. At the same time, it was so enjoyable that our students’ faces lit up whenever they participated in [Musicopia Dance]!! Thank you!”
“I love [Musicopia Dance]! The artists are amazing. They work with our children and help them to learn not just to dance, but so much more! I never thought my son Nate could dance like this. When I see Nate dance, it makes me smile. He works hard to learn the steps and he moves with ease. Learning to ballroom dance helps you in many ways, coordination, math skills, poise, grace and self-esteem. The students have to work together as a team so it also teaches team building as well. I would recommend this program to any school. Nate is my second son to go through the program. I have a younger son, Christian who will participate next year and I am so excited for him!”
“I believe the program fits the fifth grade to a tee. It is developmentally appropriate and creates an environment of confidence and creativity. I loved this program. It is fabulous!”
“When we first started dancing, I felt excited and nervous. Dancing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. When I walk into dance class, I get happy. I feel that dancing could help improve our confidence. I feel it could change our future.”
