Interventions
Dance can aid understanding & learning and also provide an opportunity for self regulation.
DMD sessions are therapeutic in their nature. The combination of a structure and routine, with the freedom to choose & move creatively, has a long-lasting positive effect.
DMD provides students with a safe and creative space in which to thrive.
Contact me for more information on 1-1 or small group interventions.

Supporting Teachers
Often staff feel at a loss for how to facilitate Dance within the curriculum.
I can inspire new ideas to aid you moving forwards on your own, and support you through observations, workshops and planning time.
Take a look at my brochure for more details on the DMD approach, or contact me to discuss your needs as a school.

PMLD
It is important to me that students with profound and multiple difficulties experience the joy of movement, music and Dance no matter their physical challenges.
Using our senses, and immersing ourselves in music and props; we can create topic based sessions for all to access. There are no limitations!
-
Yoga
Drawing on my passion for all things Yoga, sessions have a sensory/therapeutic nature to calm the body down for the rest of the day.
DMD incorporates Yoga poses, breath work, meditation/mindfulness, and massage when appropriate. Students are given the tools to be able to self regulate, so that they can best access the rest of their day.
Read my brochure for more information on how best to support your staff and students.

What does Dance with Daisy look like?
A typical session:
Hellos & Introductions
Warm up / Stretch & Grow
Using our space
Exploring our topic/skill
Yoga/ Cool down
Relaxation & Bubbles
We will often follow a Googleslide, or symbols are used to define our timetable for each session.
Age appropriate, varied music is used & prepapred ahead of time to reflect the energy of activities and topic of reference. It is an important element of a DMD session, and can enhance learning & help to regulate participants.
Sessions could be;
-Topic based to seamlessly support learning in other areas of the curriculum
- Goal based in line with pupil’s targets
-Project based, or geared towards performance work
-Used as an intervention for individuals or groups of students…
The sky is the limit!
Dance really is for all to access, and I’m here to help you explore how.
