"Molly has just turned 10yrs old and has been Belly dancing since she was 6 yrs. I started Molly in belly dance for a number of reasons, one being because it is fun!! It is also great at helping to connect left and right sides of the brain and therefore enhance learning. Since Molly happens to have Down syndrome it has been great in so many ways from increasing muscle tone, body awareness, confidence, enhancing her learning and most importantly its fun and she loves it! Since returning home to NZ four years ago Molly has been blessed with some wonderful teachers like Candice who have inspired her love of dance. I recommend lessons for all people with different abilities for the reasons above and because we could all do with more dance in our days!!" - Lorene Dennis, Molly Dennis' Mum
