At Kalamunda Performers, we truly believe dance is for everyone. Our Dance Abilities classes in Perth are specially designed for students with special needs or differing abilities.
These classes provide a safe, welcoming space for children and young adults to experience the joy of dance at their own pace. We focus on what our students can do, celebrating every achievement – big or small – and building confidence with each step.
We incorporate basic elements of dance (rhythm, movement, coordination) tailored to the abilities of the group. Activities are adapted so that everyone can participate and feel successful.
Dance class is a wonderful way to practice social skills. Students dance together in partners or groups, take turns, and encourage each other. Many make new friends in this class!
As students learn new moves or routines, their self-esteem soars. We make sure to celebrate every milestone – whether it’s mastering a simple step or confidently performing in front of the class.
Our instructors are patient and trained to work with various needs. We often use props, favourite songs, or games to keep class engaging. The environment is non-judgmental and supportive, so dancers feel comfortable exploring movement.
In Dance Abilities, there’s no pressure to be perfect – the goal is to have fun and enjoy moving to music. We welcome participants of all ages and ability levels. Some of our dancers in this class have physical disabilities, others have developmental or learning differences; all are embraced as part of the KP family.
Parents often share how much their children look forward to these classes and how dance has helped with things like coordination, listening skills, and mood. We also occasionally give our Dance Abilities students opportunities to showcase their moves in low-key performances or studio open days (only if they’re comfortable, of course), which is a huge confidence booster!
Please contact us to discuss your child’s needs, and we can recommend the best class group for them. We’ll also let you know the timetable of our inclusive classes. We’re passionate about making dance accessible to all – and can’t wait to welcome every dancer to our studio. When you’re ready, we’ll guide you through the simple enrolment process and see you on the dance floor!
Kalamunda Performers (KP) provide dance classes for both males and females, any age group and any level of dance experience. Our teaching style embodies our motto, “dancing should be fun for everyone.
