My name is Angela Flaherty. I have been an educator for 31 years. I have a degree in English and dance education. I have taught in district #308 and owned my own dance studio. I have been involved with KCSO Special Olympics for about 14 years. I am a mom of four adult children. My third child, Liam is 22 and is on the autism spectrum, deaf (but wears a cochlear implant), and has Tourettes. At my dance studio that I had for 15 years (we closed during Covid), I had a dance program for special needs kids and adults. I like to provide theme camps that not only make campers move but also learn about the theme through educational activities. I am excited that I will be able to offer these types of classes through the Go For it Sports Dome this summer. For more information: dancewithflair6@gmail.com. Register at www.goforitsportsdome.com
