Bust A Move Dance
Bust a Move Dance is an Australian born social business offering dance classes for children, teens and adults with disabilities.
Currently operating a second branch in Toronto, Canada, the vision for BAMD is that people of all abilities feel equal and powerful in the world, and that these individuals are provided with an opportunity to participate in and express themselves in an environment which is safe, but also stimulates personal growth in a creative manner. BAMD aims to do this through the vehicle of dance, encouraging these young people to become independent within their own communities and in turn develop their self-confidence and self purpose.
BAMD Goals:
- Adapted/inclusive dance classes in accessible locations across the GTA.
- Customised workshops in various genres for ALL ages and ability levels.
- Dance parties & events, let us come and party with you guys, run a workshop, or simply have a chat about future idea's!
- Performance Opportunities. Our performance crew is a large part of our BAMD classes and community integration.
Active Start & FUNdamentals Programs
Active Start is a program aimed at children 2-6 years of age with an intellectual disability (ID). When children with an ID receive early instruction in basic motor skills and have the opportunity to experience ‘play,’ there is improvement in their physical, social and cognitive abilities.
FUNdamentals is a program aimed at children 7-12 years of age with an intellectual disability. The program is a follow-up to the Active Start program and includes more sport specific related skills that will contribute to future sport participation.
Both programs aim to educate parents and caregivers about the value of sport in their child’s life and expand their networks and support systems.
When: Every Tuesday, 6:00 - 8:00 pm, November 2018 - May 2019
Where: Rosedale Junior Public School
22 South Drive, Toronto, ON M4W 1R1
