Through our classes, children learn fundamental dance techniques, such as balance, coordination, and rhythm. They also have the opportunity to engage in creative movement and improvisation, enabling them to express themselves in unique and meaningful ways. Our instructors use a variety of teaching methods, including visual aids, sensory props, and verbal cues to cater to different learning styles and abilities.
In addition to dance skills, our classes promote socialization and teamwork. Children learn to interact with others through partner work and group exercises, building communication and collaboration skills. Our inclusive approach ensures that every child is valued and respected, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
At our SEND dance classes, children also develop emotional skills such as self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-expression. Through movement and music, children learn to regulate their emotions, express their feelings, and build a positive self-image. Our instructors provide a supportive and nurturing environment that encourages children to take risks, try new things, and celebrate their achievements.
In conclusion, our SEND dance classes provide dance education, catering to the unique needs of each child. We strive to create a positive and inclusive learning environment that promotes physical, social, and emotional growth.

About the teacher
Marta is from Portugal where she gave her first steps into ballet. She started her journey at Estarreja Ballet School at age of 6 and stopped when she was 19 years old, when she was part of a small dance company/school, the BCN – Ballet Contemporâneo do Norte, right before starting her Degree in Psychology.
After finishing her Degree and Master in Clinical Psychology (Master thesis: Eating Disorders) and specialisation in Children with Disabilities and Special Needs, she decided to join Psychology and Dance and invested in new courses and specialisations (Dance and movement Therapy and Art Therapy) – currently taking a specialisation in Psychology of Dance.
She taught Creative Dance, for children from 3 years old, Sensorial movement for children with ADHD/ADD and Autism for 4 years and more recently baby dance classes.
Marta loves the power that dance has and what you can make and achieve with it – her dance mantra is: “Dance, Dance, otherwise we are lost!” by Pina Baush and because of this, at the age of 34 she decided to go back to Ballet and to teach.
