Since collaborating with What Connects Us-Ce qui nous lie, dance has become a common language among our guests regardless of cognitive abilities. Everyone has benefitted from integrating this type of creative expression into our programming. It is a joy to witness the magical moments of connection that occur naturally throughout the dance sessions.
