Music & Motion
Maryland Youth Ballet’s Music & Motion program provides unique dance classes for children with physical and developmental disabilities. In our one-of-a-kind, custom designed and installed equipment, children have the opportunity to experience the joy of dance movement with the aid of an overhead track system. This system suspends them in a vest harness giving them the freedom to move without a wheelchair or walker. Each class is conducted by a dance teacher with the assistance of two physical therapists, a live accompanist, and MYB student volunteers for a very special experience.
