Our Classes

Classes are a celebration of movement. Dancers work to their own abilities and enjoyment.

Each student is paired with a "helper" to assist as necessary.

What is Dancing Dreams?

Dancing Dreams is a dance program specially designed for children with physical challenges that preclude them from participating in community dance classes. The program focuses on establishing an environment where children, regardless of impairment, can participate in the art of dance through therapeutic movement.

The program nurtures the individual abilities of the student and allows each child the chance to experience the joy of movement and performance. The year culminates with a recital in the spring. This is a celebration of achievement as well as a rewarding and unique experience that highlights the hard work and motivation of the dancers.

Dancing Dreams was founded in 2002 by Joann Ferrara, PT - a licensed physical therapist with 25 years of experience and a background in Ballet. Joann designs and instructs the classes. Classes are held weekly and generally follow the public school schedule.
