Moving Miracles is a dance/movement program for children, adolescents
and adults who are exceptionally challenged mentally, physically
and/or emotionally.
A non-profit
organization, Moving Miracles is committed to assisting individuals
with special needs by developing their highest potential through
a kinesthetic approach combining
dance, creative movement, music, props and rhythm, ultimately inspiring
self expression,
self-esteem & socialization.
Our student
body is composed of boys and girls, and men and women ranging in
age from children three and up to adults in their forties. Some
of our students are mildly delayed and comparatively, very high
functioning, needing little support. Other students are wheelchair
bound and require "hand over hand" assistance. Many of
our "Moving Miracles" have a form of Cerebal Palsy, and
are afflicted with complex seizure disorders as well. Autism, Developmental
Delays, Down Syndrome, ADD / ADHD and behavioral challenges are
obstacles that we as a dance ensemble are victoriously dancing with
everyday.
