All of the children are more capable than many would think, Bouck said, they just need the encouragement to move.

"For some kids, getting up and dancing for an hour is the most exercise they get all week," she said. "It doesn’t feel like therapy," adding that some students attending the class also go to physical therapy. "You do stuff without thinking about it when you are dancing."

The Elevate Academy will have its next recital at Peery’s Egyptian Theatre in Ogden June 5 at 6 p.m.
