DanceOolites - Lower Blue Mountains
A dance group for children and adolescents of varying disabilities
Class will be held at Glenbrook on Thursdays beginning at 4.00pm
We aim to provide a merry and nurturing environment, where, hopefully, over time participants will develop friendships, learn new social skills, improve coordination, self esteem and self concept through social interaction, dance and movement. It is anticipated that most parents/caregivers will remain at the hall during class sessions (at least initially) to assist with supervision/dancing unless other arrangements are made with the dance teacher.
This is a not for profit program and tuition is provided free of charge. For further details and enrolment contact: www.danceoolites.com
