Frequently Asked QuestionsASNeeDS stands for "Alessendre Special Needs Dance School".
Yes. After school classes are being held at Lindon Bennett School, Middlesex, where our syllabus is taught to children with a variety of disabilities, and a weekly class is held by a dance teacher in Rugby. Following a second trip to Russia on behalf of the English charity Downside Up, classes will be held at their centre next year. It is also hoped that two Russian special needs theatre groups will also begin classes. From September I shall try to establish classes in other special needs schools in this country.
For those who have Down’s Syndrome or similar disability for the ages of approximately 5-30 years.
