Why is it important?

The results are important because traditional rehabilitation provides clinical improvements up to seven year of age and we are providing an intervention that expands that limit to 15 years of age.

Perspectives

The targeted aspect of the design of the dance class and in the inclusion of training principles of classical ballet are key to the success of this intervention.
