Be prepared for some audience participation……..
Dance Dance Dance
Class Islay enjoyed dance therapy session this morning with Linda. They especially liked to explore all the sensory items and use them during their interactions with their dance partner.
Mirror Movements
Lovely interactions during an individual dance session with Ruth, one of our dance specialists.
C was so engrossed in the session and initiating some of his own moves for Ruth to copy. He was so proud of himself.
Well done
everyBODY can fly………
Class Arran had to wait for their turn to bust some moves on
the aerial ropes.
Once they had a safety talk and demonstration from Rachel, they were all ready to go! Christopher was tracking Rachel during the demonstration, desperate for his turn.
Rob and Peter were the first to get harnessed up whilst the others watched.
Roll on tomorrow when they can have another turn and learn to make some spontaneous movements and have opportunities to communicate to their partner during start and stop activities.
Flying high………
Class Cumbrae were the first to experience the Aerial experience this morning with the “EveryBODY Dancin” company and Water Baby and Dancing Feet dance companies.
After the initial introduction of the staff and demonstration, it was all systems go….. Millie was so excited she was shouting out “Let’s get started”
It was lovely to see the pupils communicate for more, and using their feet to make movements. Alexander was pushing his hand against Rachel (@everyBODYdancin) to make his cocoon move.
I’m sure as the week progresses we will see the pupils much
more relaxed and making attempts to manoeuvre themselves
and create some moves with collaboration with their partners.
Aerial Experiences at IMS
Everything is all set for the Aerial experiences with Everybody Dance an Inclusive community and aerial dance company born from Blue Eyed Soul Dance.
Staff, including our dance specialist from Waterbaby Dance and Dirty Feet dance companies having some training and then the pupils are all set to fly…….. Exciting week ahead at IMS.
