Bax sounds like such a wonderful program for kids. Creative arts are so important, and physical comedy/improv courses can be so helpful in building confidence in children. I wonder how mixing kids with mild social/physical disabilities plays out-but I can only imagine that it is helpful for the disabled student. I also think offering a free class is a great way to help parents decide about programs. I work for the New York Kids Club, which also has a list of innovative programs for kids (actually a Brooklyn Hts. location is opening in April) and it is something to be thought about. Brooklyn is such a nice place to grow up, I am glad to see that lots of kid organizations are getting involved.
