About Reach For It

Participants will exercise and have fun using the fluidity of dance to work on balance, strength, movement, and coordination. This class will integrate multiple styles of dance and live music to engage the mind and body. Reach for It combines the easy-going interaction of a group, with movement tailored to the individual participant's level of mobility. Individualized support is provided through collaboration with the UNO chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association (UNO NSSLHA).

Family, friends and caregivers are encouraged to accompany participants in movements. Director & Lead Teacher, Danielle Laurion, MA, R-DMT, GLCMA, PLMHP is a dancer, educator, dance/movement therapist, and choreographer in the Omaha area. Her specialty lies in working with different specialized populations to integrate the mind and body through movement.
