RHYTHM WORKS Integrative Dance
RHYTHM WORKS Integrative Dance is a specialized, but inclusive, dance class for people with individual learning differences and other special needs. Based on the Hip Hop Made Easy Program (currently offered in 2000+ schools & dance studios worldwide) our RWID classes use rhythm and hip hop dance to assist in achieving goals across the 5 developmental domains.
Our certified clinical professionals use the program in the clinical setting as a modality to complement existing therapies.
Our certified dance instructors work closely with each student’s developmental team to offer community based group classes.
Our certified academic educators use Rhythm Works Integrative Dance to assist in learning objectives, skill development, and brain breaks.
The curriculum is COMPLETELY CUSTOMIZABLE to fit the needs, challenges, and goals of your student and is appropriate for kids age 3 – adult, boys and girls.
CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW ENROLLMENT FOR OUR GROUP CLASSES!!!
In order to provide your dancer with the best possible learning experience, we ask you to commit to an initial 10-week session. The first 3 classes are done individually with your dancer and their therapist, either at the clinic or your home. The remaining classes are done in a group setting (currently being held at Boogiezone Utopia in Torrance). By meeting with your dancer individually in the beginning, our teachers are able to get to know your child’s learning style in order to customize their experience! Your dancer will be able to get to know their teachers in a comfortable environment to help make the transition into group classes as smooth as possible.
Classes are limited in size and are open to all ability levels, ages 3 – adult, boys and girls!!! We encourage you, a therapist, or a sibling to participate for FREE. This person should be able to assist your dancer in class.
