Our Adapted Gymnastic class looks like a lot of fun, but there is more going on than what the observer sees. Recently our Adapted Gymnastics class was featured in the Woodward BoomTown Magazine published by The Woodward News. We invite you to read it and learn how gymnastics is making a difference in the lives of these children. We are also very grateful for the interviews our parents were willing to participate in.
Thank you Elise Solloway, writer for the Woodward News, for the opportunity to share with our community area about this great program and what the benefits may be for these children.

Should My Child Compete?
One of the most asked questions we encounter is "Should my child compete?" Some parents worry about the experience not being a positive one. Others are sure their child will do fine in competition, but worry about the travel and competition costs. We look at this situation a bit differently.
If your child has siblings at home, participates in the city sports league, enters essay contests at school, takes a playing test in band for chair placement, they already compete! They are already in a training ground position to learn to compete as an adult for scholarships, job placements, job advancements, etc. Competing in dance is actually about learning to perform at the highest level of competition available to them.
There are many different ways to compete in dance. Some think that the easiest way to learn is to just jump in and learn a dance and go to the competition. The idea in this case is that the dancers will become better just by getting the experience.
Another method of getting to competition is to "hold auditions". That way you place them on a "team" that the abilities matching up with other dancers. Some feel this is the most successful way. Or they will group everyone in age groups, but use the audition process for lead parts or "who goes on the front row".
And yet another, is based on how many classes a child takes per week as to if they can be on the "competition team". The majority of these methods of dance team placement never bring in the personality and personal strength of the child.
We would like to suggest a different way of preparing for competition on the dance stage. One that we have found great success with for our dance teams. It is a way of grooming, empowering and teaching them about performance first. One that allows us to help the child to find their place on the team rather than be told which team they can perform with.
The method we use is four steps:
1. Regular weekly classes for a strong dance education.
2. Participation in master classes and conventions (we are highly selective about the conventions).
3. Community performances through out the year and recitals. A lot of community performances!
4. Competition team placement and work.
By using this method, the teachers and director has a chance to get to know the child better. We learn what a child's strengths are and what we need to work on to help them through the process. For instance, a lot of time is spent on just entering and exiting the stage that demonstrates confidence. Without confidence, the routine is not going to go well, no matter how much practice and training on the routine has been done.
Personality in performance is important as well. Getting to know the child better helps with building the choreography around the students personality, instead of pushing them into roles that they cannot pull off. As a dance adjudicator, I can say it is very evident when the personality of the students has not been considered and used to set the choreography.
Music selection is also key to success, and again can be a part of the personality situation. Too mature or immature of music for the dance group can mean that the dancers never really connect with the music and are unable to deliver a great performance.
Participation in master classes, conventions, workshops and community performances is an opportunity for the student to grow not only in their dance, but as a person and performer. It is an opportunity to find out personally what their strengths are and not just be told by their teacher or parents where they are strong. It is also a way for them to face any fears in a supportive environment, without anxiety that they may "mess up" the team". It is a way of truly growing a team to work together at different ability levels.
Is your child ready to compete? Probably. Probably because they have already been competing and trying to get to the front row in class already. But the real question to ask is, "Is your child ready to grow and discover who they are?".

Why Music Training Should Be A Part Of Your Child's Growing Years
Why Music Training
Should Be A Part Of Your Child's Growing Years
Most parents understand that music for their child is a good choice. But just listening to Kid's Bop or Disney Tunes is not what we are talking about here today. We are talking about your child experiencing and learning to read and play music on actual instruments, and not on an iPad or iPhone.
Research has found that music can help to grow a child's brain, help children make better connections to math, relieve stress and lower blood pressure in children and adults, improves rhythm for reading skills, improves focus and much more. Music is also one of the "activities" you can put your child in that can soon develop into an education, that can also lead to a college scholarship and career.
But let's look at it a bit deeper for the very young child. Young children, under 7 years of age can actually learn to read music, probably even before they can read their first book, according to Debbie Yakabosky, creator and CEO of Music FunTime.
Music is something that we can all benefit from, but a child connects to it so easily that they can use the rhythm from their favorite song to self sooth at night going to sleep. Or they can use an upbeat tune they love to hum to help with better skipping skills and other gross motor skills that fit to a rhythmic beat. Remember skipping rope to simple songs and rhymes? How much more fun it was to have a tune running through our heads or coming from our lips as we worked the rope.
Music written on paper is made up of symbols and combinations of symbols, much like math. When one of our daughters was having trouble learning fractions in grade school, and did not have a teacher that could figure out how to get her to understand fractions ( as I was told at the parent teacher conference), I quickly sprung into action and introduced her to two different helping tools, reading music notes and their counts, and baking cookies. She soon had a better idea of working fractions, much to the amazement of her teacher.
Music is magical. Just think about watching a movie with no sound track. How boring that would be! Nothing to carry our imagination and emotions to higher levels and helping us to discover connections to the characters. Next time you sit down with your child to listen to music, use the soundtrack of their favorite movie. You will certainly hear them tell part of the movie script, if not even being able to recite the full lines of the story. Music helps us with memory and recall. Your child knows this and lives it through every magical moment.
Music helps your child to create their own stories. Whether playing on an instrument or listening to someone play a piece on the piano. Recently, once of our grandsons was staying over and asked to play the piano. Of course we said yes.
He started out improving something very bold and dynamic and then it would soften and become very lyrical. He repeated the process again, and it appeared to be the same. Quickly I took out my camera to see if I could capture this moment on video. He started again. And once again, the melody was the same, big, bold and dynamic, then suddenly soft and lyrical.
He turned around to pick up a music book sitting on the bench and realized I was standing behind him with my camera. Smiling, he asked if I heard his song he had played (his improvisation). I stated yes that I did. He continued, "It is a song about two people getting married." I asked if it was a wedding march, and he said yes that it was.
Later, I asked his mom if they had attended any weddings recently and her answer was no. Most likely he has never seen or been part of an actual wedding, but may have seen one on television in a TV show or movie. Later in reviewing the video, I had to watch it three times in awe. Listening very close, you could hear a simple melody very close to Canon in D Minor. Now how did that happen? He is only 4 years old and yes takes piano lessons, but is not at that level yet for sure! Music connects with children and music is magical. Music grows the brain.
I believe that most music educators would agree with me when I tell you that it just may be time to put all digital music aside and start getting out instruments for your child to explore with. Instead of a few more video games, check out lessons. When attending a movie, ask your child what they think of the music soundtrack.
When setting your schedule for the school year and blocking out time for homework and reading, block out time for playing music. Put the videos games away and bring out the instruments and watch and listen for the magic to happen. (I see you smiling.)

Gymnastics For Special Needs Children?
Gymnastics For Special Needs Children?
Gymnastics can be a great outlet for activity and fun for special needs children. A properly structured class can allow them time to release pent up energy by running, jumping, bouncing, rolling, etc. It gives them another social outlet. It brings smiles and laughter.
For all children, a gymnastic class helps to build strength and flexibility. It also allows them to experience success as well as failure. Build core strength and grip, etc. But for special needs children the benefit of being in a gymnastic class are much larger and more towards life skills, such as walking, focus, and communicating.
Gymnastics allows a special needs child to be in an environment that is not only physical, but cognitive as well. They that have to focus on small and large skills while working to place their bodies in the right position to maneuver the body through the gymnastic movement. After all, walking on a 4 inch wide balance beam is no easy feat (an act or achievement that shows courage, strength or skill) for anyone!
But lets look at what else gymnastic classes can offer a special needs child.
1. On the physical side of a gymnastic class, a special needs child can learn better balance and work on core strength that helps with day to day activities such as sitting and walking for any length of time. This in turn helps in attending school and OT therapy sessions.
They also get to experience flight by jumping on bounders and trampolines and when ready, the ability to land on their feet from a simple dismount and safely roll out. This is in hope that they will learn to do a safety roll if ever falling from a height.
Rolling itself is a vestibular activity that helps us to understand the perception of body position and movement. It is why so many children, including myself as a child, will get in a swing and spin in it, instead of swinging back and forth, until you are nauseous. It is a necessary development need to develop this state of balance and being in space and time.
2. As an energy outlet, there is none better! With padded floors and equipment to land on, it is a great environment to start learning about success (which we highly praised) and failure (we praise the effort). The gym is a big open space that allows a child to move, run, work and train in. And with all of the colorful foam shapes such as wedges, octagons, trapezoids and more, you can't help by laugh and have a great time.
3. Gymnastics is also a social outlet. All children learn to wait their turn, walk in a line, respect other gymnasts, and develop friendships. They also learn to support each other with the demonstration of high fives, a pat on the back and sometimes even a cheer of "you can do it"!
4. Gymnastics is motor building fun! Brightly colored equipment make challenge courses, that develop gross motor skills, fun and entertaining. Learning to grip and swing on the bars can lead to better writing skills and arm strength.
5. Gymnastics is great for learning spatial and body awareness. It is great for increasing focus and controlling our movements. From walking on beams to bouncing on trampolines, they learn to control their landing on their feet.
Yes, gymnastics is great for special needs children. And yes, some may never do a back handspring or a tuck. They may never compete in a gymnastics meet. But one thing for sure, they will always steal a gymnastic coaches heart,

Why Do Parents Really Need To Think About Dance For Their Child?
Why Do Parents Really Need To Think About Dance
For Their Child?
Every parent should consider dance classes for their child. But not because they get to dress up and twirl around on a stage once a year in a recital. Nor just because they are shy and you have heard it is a good "activity" until your child is no longer too shy for other things.
Every parent should give high consideration of dance for their child because of all the different life skills that are taught from age two to eighteen years. Why for that many years? Because you are helping them to be successful in school, including college (yes, we know you think you have already heard this many times) and beyond. Because you, the parent, are helping to grow a focused, dedicated, committed adult that will be successful in life, thus relieving any stress and worry on your part as a parent as to whether they will be capable of "making it" throughout life. Yes, this is about you , the parent, as well!
Ages 2 - 6 years
Most parents will register their children ages 2-6 yrs in a dance class in hope that they will have an outlet for their energy, a place to build self confidence and learn to get along with others before starting school. What these parents do not realize is that they just started their child in school!
Dance school can be your child's first experience of school. And since you can enroll your child in dance classes at a younger ages than most preschools, it has a profound opportunity of setting the pattern later in formal academic education. It probably is the first time they learn about standing in a line, or other formation, with others. It is the first place your child learns to attempt weight change from foot to foot in a patterns such as skipping, galloping, sliding, hopping on one foot, jumping from two feet, leaping over an imaginary line and much more.
Dance school can be your child's first social avenue to make friends, learn to get along with others, wait their turn, develop patience and understand that another person (child) is just as important as they are to completing a group project. Dance school is an opportunity to discover and share interests, thoughts, experiences and dreams with others in a setting that they would never be laughed at. You do not see "bullies" in a good dance school. Why? Because dance school offers free expression from all participants in a class, and bullies do not want to share that with anyone. Therefor, they are the ones that do not fit in.
Besides all of the physical side of learning, dance school also is a young child's first experience in following patterns, moving in sequence, expanding their thought processes so they can work towards and see ahead to the end of a project (after all, dancers have to think ahead of the music a bit to be on time with their movements, or the moment has passed them). This then sets your child on a great course for adding music training, enhancing their math skills and visionary skills for the future.
Ages 7-11 yrs
No matter if you are just beginning dance school after age 6 yrs or continuing from the younger ages, there is great growth during the seven to eleven years in dance school. It is during this time that children start sensing a stronger connection to their friends. Over the many years, we have been told many, many times by a child "I like my friends at school, but I really like my friends at dance better". Why is this? We believe it is because at dance school, your child finds acceptance at this age. It does not matter if your child is the best dancer in class or not. What matters is that they have friends by their side that are constantly reminding them (and hopefully great teachers) that they "can do this", and in turn, the child that was encouraged to try, openly and willingly encourages their friends as well in class. Special memories are created at this time, that carry forward to adulthood.
Dance school is also a great place to start learning that everyone has strengths. Not necessarily physical strength that can always be developed by just working out in class. But strength in character, mind and heart. It is during this time that students start feeling like the dance school setting, and the ones in class with them, are more than just classmates, they are a dance family. They may even ask to take more classes just to expand their time at the school, to be with their friends.
Another reason that they may start asking for more classes or time at the dance school may be that they are beginning to discover their own personal strengths and work towards a higher level of confidence and self esteem building. They start seeing themselves as a performer. Someone that knows that there are times that we fall, but all we have to do is get up and try again. And again and again.
Beyond social and personal skill advancement, this age starts to expand their memory skills with across the floor progressions that change from one class date to another. Each week, the progressions may be added onto, thus training the brain to recall the previous weeks sequence and add new information to it. Keep in mind that this is all done to music and counts, so the child is also having to count and think ahead in time. This is just one of many reasons that dancers are able to do very well in academic school work.
Ages 12-18 yrs
It is at this age, that peer support is very important. And you will find it in a dance school, because as we stated before, there are no bullies in a good dance school. In a class of this age group, you will see and hear encouragement and peer coaching from those boys and girls that have accomplished a skill or movement, to help those that have not accomplished it yet. You will also see and hear laughs of joy and clapping when someone is finally able to complete a skill. This means that your child has an opportunity to "network" with their peers to achieve higher levels and networking is another great skill to learn for adulthood success.
It is also at this age that we see the dancer mature tremendously. They become more intense and focused on the dance training and strive towards correctness of movements as well as determination to meet completion of work. If they are driving, then they know to not be late to class, but be early to prepare the body for class. This helps to develop better time management skills that carries over to college and work that professors and employers love. Being in dance classes from a young age to 18 yrs (high school graduation) also trains a child for long term commitment and dedication, again success skills to complete university studies and hold down a job long enough for advancement.
So Why Do Parents Really Need To Think About Dance Training For Their Child?
First, so that you do not have to worry about them as an adult.....ever! You have made sure they are trained to ...........
1.Be where they are suppose to be in a timely manner.
2.Be organized, committed and able to follow through on everything they do.
3.Be socially committed and encouraging of others.
4.Be able to process information in an organized fashion and follow through to the end.
5.Be able to see value in long term relationships.
6.Be a person that takes on responsibility willingly.
7.Be a person that understands how to break down problems and rebuild to success.
8.Be understanding that learning high level skills means time commitment, personal energy and
dedication to seeing things completed.
9.Be the best that they can be. They set the level of accomplishment through their long term
commitment and hard work.
10.Be able to work as a member of a team and committed to the teams success.
11.Be committed to family and work hard towards success.
12.Be willing to coach and train others in skills they have high achievement in. Be a teacher.
And The List Could Go On.......
But we think you can see where all of this is going. Parents selecting long tern dance classes over other activities that can distract from training to be an adult, know and will see that your child does not have to have a dream to be a professional performer to benefit from being in dance class. We are very proud to say that we have had the opportunity to train many public educators, several nurses, a pediatric surgical nurse, many business owners, several business managers, a Chiropractor, a mental health expert, dancer teachers, a band director, a minister, a special needs advocate, and thousands of committed and dedicated parents that love their children and family. But of course, all when they were ages 2-18 yrs. And the majority for over 12 years of their life right here at our dance school.
We want parents to know that when they are at our dance school, our objective is to teach them great skills that will help them be successful in life. If a professional dance career is their goal, then we are more than happy to train and coach them towards that direction and hand them off to higher level training when the time comes. But in the mean time, we are happy to train young people to achieve the highest level possible for them in life, while having fun and being a part of our dance family.
