Welcoming all to dance

I created these ‘foot maps’ to help my K–3 special education students learn the ballet positions. Verbal directions can be hard to follow for children with processing delays. The visual support breaks through that barrier for instruction, so every student can participate. My motto is ‘Dance is for everyone.'

— Megan Moellendorf, special education dance teacher at P169 @ PS 146 in Manhattan
