"The Dance School" presents a program for students with sensory processing disorder

Coping with sensory processing disorders can cause daily stress for children and their caregivers.  Sensory processing disorder affects those afflicted in areas as basic as eating, being comfortable around other people, and in many cases tolerating the impact of the world around her or him, i.e. the feel of clothing, the sensation of surfaces underfoot, environmental sounds and smells. Readers who have sensory processing disorder, or know someone who does, feel free to add more examples of the effects of this disorder in the comments section after this post.  

Instructor Sarah Seder presents “Dance, the Senses and Emotion” for students aged 9 and over.  Among other things, this program in Everett, Washington works to helps students to “reorganize (their) central nervous sensory system”, become more aware of their five senses and express emotions.    

 

Dance, the Senses and Emotion

for students with sensory processing issues - ages 9+

Instructor: Sarah Seder

Wednesdays, beginning September 9, 2015

4:00 - 4:45 pm

Fall tuition $150 - 11 wks

$30 Annual Registration Fee billed in addition to Fall tuition parents or caregivers are asked to remain on-site during class-time.

Designed for students with sensory processing issues, each class begins with a physical warm up which includes the Brain Dance, basic dance technique, core strength building exercises, activities

to help students recognize their 5 senses, calming breathing practices and yoga stretches. Dancers work together to choreograph dances integrating movement concepts such as speed, size, and level. Students learn to use dance as a way to express a variety of emotions. The goal of this class

is to help students discover the joy of moving in a safe, fun environment using movement patterns that healthy human beings naturally move through in the first year of life. Cycling through these patterns at any age, daily or weekly while sitting or standing, has been found to be beneficial in reorganizing our central nervous system.
