An energetic, fun filled introduction to music and movement! This class allows children to develop their imaginations as they learn to use their bodies to bring stories to life through movement and gestures. We use improvisation, games, props, and toys to learn the basics of dance technique. Children will develop a vocabulary for dance and an understanding of posture, alignment, rhythm, and musicality. Parents are invited to join in the first class of each term, and are always welcome to watch from the lobby as we turn into ballerinas, dinosaurs, or airplanes, and travel up to the sky, down into the ocean, or anywhere else our imaginations take us! Children who have participated in the Parents + Tots class and are ready to start dancing on their own will be thrilled with this class just for them, and for those who aren’t quite old enough to begin formal dance training but can’t wait to get started, this is an excellent preparation for structured dance classes. Everyone will also get a taste of being on stage by performing in short numbers with their teacher in both the Christmas show at the end of Term I, and the final year end show in June. Taught by
Linette Doherty on Wednesdays and
Laura Ross on Saturdays.
