About the Style
For many students in this class, this is their first time participating in an activity on their own. Being away from their parent may cause anxiety in some children, and you may also find yourself anxious if this is YOUR first time away from your little one! Please rest assured that we will try and make this transition as happy and smooth as possible. The ultimate goal of this class is to have students actively participating on their own. Our Creative Movement for Tots class is an introduction to the basics of dance in a structured environment, while allowing students to develop their musicality. This class may involve pretending to be animals, playing instruments to learn rhythm, learning balancing, skipping and running and technique props. This program continues to enhance motor skills, creativity and build social skills. In this class children will be moving to music, performing creative movement, acting out nursery rhymes and learning beginner dance steps for the foundations of dance. This class is suitable for both boys and girls, and they will have so much fun that they won’t even realise that they are learning the fundamentals of dance technique along the way! This class prepares the child for the Pre-Dance class and will help them to acquire a lifelong love for dance! (For students that are not ready to be participating on their own in class, we recommend placement in the Dance with Me class where there is a caregiver participating with them).
PLEASE NOTE: for our 2021-2022 Season we have combined this class with the Dance with Me program to ensure each child has a caregiver in the classroom to assist them to maintain social distancing requirements. We hope to offer this class in the future once social distancing has been removed by the government.
