NDI’s DREAM Project (Dancers Realize Excellence through Arts and Movement) continues its DREAM Project@Home series of 30 minute classes focusing on introducing the NDI style of dance class to children with a wide variety of abilities. In this class, Kay Gayner (NDI Associate Artistic Director), Agnes McConlogue Ferro (Board Certified Pediatric Physical Therapist) and children with and without disabilities from the NDI DREAM community provide strategies for adapting movement for different levels of abilities.
