Children with Special Needs

Dance Class for ages 1-2 years old

At Expressions Dance & Movement Center we believe in the power of dance to change lives. We want everyone to be able to experience the benefits of a nurturing dance environment. That's why we partner with Elev8 Arts Foundation, a local 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to bringing arts education to children & teens in East County San Diego!

Through our partnership with Elev8 Arts, we are able to provide free dance classes, costumes, dance shoes, & dance attire to students with special needs in our local community! All expenses for these classes are covered by the generous donations to the Elev8 Arts Foundation!

The following classes begin the week of July 13, 2026. Enrollment for new members begins May 23, 2026 at 9:00am

Testimonials

Our daughter participates in the Elev8 class, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the warmth, patience, and skill Miss Shaylin brings to each and every session. She creates a safe, inclusive space where each dancer feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged.

Both of my daughters have Miss Shaylin as their teacher and we love her so much! My older daughter has autism and Shaylin is so so great with helping her, listening to her, and being fun! She makes the class a safe space for the kids and they can truly just have fun and be themselves. We are so thankful for her!
