  Innovative Education  

 Drawing inspiration from innovators like Rudolf Laban, Anne Green Gilbert, Sally Carline, Beverly Stokes, Gill Connell, Carl Orff, Edwin Gordon, and many others, Intellidance® takes a conceptual approach to teaching dance and music. 

 
 Conceptual Learning 

 The Intellidance® Method is built on connecting dance and music concepts. This allows children the chance to explore, learn, practice, and create using different senses and ways of thinking. 

 
 Sensory Integration 

At Intellidance®, we know that children experience and learn about the world through their senses. Our curriculum supports children's multi-sensory learning needs through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic domains.
