Get in the groove!
Learn various styles of dance through introductory group lessons. Participants will enjoy games and activities that make movement fun.
Lessons are taught by Arts Umbrella instructors and supported by CAN staff and volunteers.
Support Provided
Participants receive individualized support from trained staff and dedicated volunteers:
- CAN Onsite Supervisor: Ensures the success of the program as a whole
- Arts Umbrella Instructor: Delivers curriculum and provides group instruction
- CAN Support Workers: Individualize and adapt instruction to each participant
- CAN Program Assistants & Volunteers: Additional program support
Our goal is to provide as much support (1:1 or more) or as little support (to foster independence), as needed.
We strive to meet the needs of each participant through parent/caregiver collaboration.
Parents and caregivers can provide basic information about their child’s support needs and abilities through their CAN account.
During the season, don’t hesitate to speak with coaches and on-site staff about support strategies that work for your child (e.g., visual schedules, first-then boards, token systems, social stories, etc).
Our “Activity Storybooks” show participants what to expect at a CAN program!
Participants can read them before their first (or each) session to build predictability.
