Class Buddy
The Class Buddy Program at Dance It Out and Flip It Out provides personalized support and guidance to students with special needs, fostering inclusivity, empowerment, and confidence in a supportive class community
What is class buddy?
Introducing our Class Buddy Program, a unique initiative designed to provide additional support and personalized attention to students with special needs during our classes. This volunteer-based program pairs students who desire extra assistance or encouragement with dedicated buddies who are passionate about making dance accessible to everyone.
Through the Class Buddy Program, our goal is to foster inclusivity, enhance learning experiences, and promote friendship within our dance community. Buddies will work closely with students to offer guidance, assistance, and encouragement tailored to their individual needs, ensuring that every participant feels supported and empowered to explore the joy of dance and gymnastics.
Whether it's refining techniques, building confidence, or simply sharing the joy of movement, our dedicated buddies are here to make every class a positive and enriching experience for all
