Grace Fisher Foundation Dance Classes

What exactly are we doing?

Foundation For The Arts is financially partnering with the Grace Fisher Foundation so that they are able to continue hosting weekly dance classes for children with special needs. Our goal is to help expand Grace’s vision so more children can benefit.

Why is it so important?

Even if these children don’t understand rhythm and have difficulty moving, they are being given the invaluable opportunity to experience a freedom of movement that they might not have experienced elsewhere. Some of these kids have never been invited to move their bodies in a way that would express what they’re feeling inside, and these dance classes help with that expression.

Whether it’s making friends, wearing tutus that make them feel like ballerinas, or moving to music, the Grace Fisher Foundation helps facilitate enjoyment and movement that promotes fun, freedom and cognitive improvement. The amount of enjoyment that these children experience while dancing is enough to encourage anyone watching. Debbie Fisher, co-founder of the Grace Fisher Foundation, says that these dance classes provide a special outlet for the entire family to experience joy and that it’s not just a disabled child, but the whole family that feels benefits. We’re excited to see joy and the love of dance spread throughout these children’s lives and spill over to their family and friends.
