Dance Studio “Twirl” Introduces Class Welcoming To Individuals with Down Syndrome

Twirl, a dance studio in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, lives by their motto “All for dance, dance for all.” The owner, Sam Sinns, is a professional dancer who opened the studio in 2016 to pass on his wisdom and knowledge to the next generation. Twirl’s class for individuals with Down syndrome features multiple styles of dance, including jazz and musical theatre dance styles, and features an end-of-the-year show.

Sinns’ very first class at the studio was a Down syndrome dance class, which is specifically designed for individuals with the genetic condition. The class has grown to include 21 dancers who meet every week, including Jayden Pappa. Pappa’s grandmother, Joan Snyder, wanted to fuel her grandson’s love for dance and found that the class provided the perfect opportunity for him to exercise and move around while having fun. ---More...
