Project Fuse 
Movement Exploration for Dancers with Special Abilities!

Fusion Wellness Group in collaboration with April Coghill of Cypress Dance Project have partnered to create "Project Fuse", a cutting edge dance class for children and young adults with complex learning difficulties and autism spectrum disorders. Classes are taught by Fusion Wellness Group founder, Sue Ellen Burch and focus on the whole individual and not only the treatment of symptoms.  Fusion Wellness is well known for their utilization of alternative therapies and holistic approaches that encourage a proactive approach and focus on important variables such as family history, personal background and environment in one's life.  Through dance classes, students are taught life skills whilst at the same time experiencing dance as an expressive art form and are tailored to meet the individual needs of each class. 

“For the youngsters, who are autistic, dance and movement classes can draw them out of their sometimes dark and isolated world.”  N.Y. Times
 

Students whom frequent the classes are sure to benefit in some of the following ways:
• raise physical co-ordination skills as well as improve posture and breathing
• increase self-confidence, self-awareness and self-discipline, as well as promote team building
• develop a greater sense of social skills through the enjoyment of dance
• earn respect from and for their peers
• develop listening and concentration skills
• promote a sense of pride and achievement
• develop memory skills
• improve self-initiative
