We are so excited that our leaps without bounds program is back to in-person classes!

Leaps Without Bounds is an all-inclusive FREE dance class for children with special needs! Our classes are structured to engage and connect each dancer to the best of our abilities, with consideration to all the needs of each dancer. We incorporate a variety of activities and movement exercises to ensure we get them moving and smiling together! Our classes are held two Fridays a month.

This program would not be possible without the help of sponsors & donations. We are actively seeking sponsors for the 2023-24 season! If you’re interested in being a sponsor, please email Michelle at inmotiondance@aol.com.
