Dancing Lions Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the capacity of disabled artists through the promotion of movement in dance. Dance is not just a physical activity, it is a form of creative expression.  Some people with special needs often have great difficulty expressing themselves.  Dance gives children and adults alike a chance to break out of their shell and express emotions in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment.  Dancing activities can be stimulating or calming and relaxing. 

​

Movement activities promote fine and gross motor development and stimulate attention, cooperation, sensory processing, visual skills, speech and language development, and impulse control.  Rhythm and movement activities can integrate all of these skills, changing the lives of not only those doing the dancing but of those with the opportunity to help make it happen and to watch the action!
