In this ongoing dance class young learners will develop their imagination using creative movement.
Class experience
In this class, 6, 7, and 8 year old learners will use their imagination and their own expressive moves to dance on a weekly basis. Different sections will be offered per week and each session will run for 3 weeks. This class will use creative movement to engage learners to explore their own bodies and find balance and coordination and interact with each other. Energy release techniques will be used to help learners dance out their sillies that can become bottled up inside of them. This class...
Students will learn how to use their bodies to dance out shapes, colors, animals, efforts, and rhythms using their whole body to improve coordination. It will also help them to gain strength and balance through various creative movement explorations explained and then accompanied by both worded and non-worded music. They will learn how to use imagery to create movement that is prompted by the teacher's instructions and demonstrated through expressive actions. There is no right or wrong, only following the teacher and taking time to listen to other learners in the class. This is not meant to teach dance technique, but to teach rhythm, coordination, balance, and how to listen to music to inspire their imagination. No experience is needed, but each learner needs to try and participate to the best of their ability. Time will be given for individual expression and they will learn how to be patient and take turns. Students will learn how to be in a movement class targeted to release energy and inspire their imagination.
I have taught creative movement dance classes for children both in person and online. Please make sure that there is a designated space for your learner to move in so the student understands this is a dance and movement class.
1. Please bring one small, favorite stuffed animal to class. 2. A colorful objects that is soft like a scarf, yoga block, pillow or soft toy. 3. Something that shacks like a maraca or sticks or wooden spoons to tap together and keep rhythm. 4. Please have a favorite blanket for your learner to dance and be expressive with. Make sure the blanket is a size they can easily move around and that they are dancing a space where there is nothing breakable when moving the blanket around. * These things will be used every week and will need to be close by for them to use when asked by the teacher.
Parents please be advised that this is a physical class that needs room for your child to move in an open space. The student can wear socks, ballet shoes, or bare feet. Also, have a water bottle close by for when a student might need to drink water or take a break during class. Parents cannot join the class, as Outschool Policy requires parents to stay off camera. Parental Guidance instead is required and expected. Thank you.
