When it comes to helping people on the autism spectrum with their social and personal development, dance is a powerful tool because it combines movement and music in a rhythmic harmony. In addition to improving self-control, coordination, and body awareness, dance provides a nonverbal means of self- expression for individuals. For people who are sensitive to sensory stimuli, the structured yet flowing motions can be soothing.
Dance promotes collaboration, nonverbal communication, and social ties in a group setting by creating a feeling of belonging. A sense of confidence and unity is fostered by the group experience of synchronized movement. Dancing allows people on the autism spectrum to express themselves, find connections with others, and discover their own rhythm. Dancing helps them feel happy, and included.
