In this we will "eavesdrop" on the conversation in the dancing studio to learn about different European dances that inspired masterpieces by such composers as Tchaikovsky, Offenbach, Brahms, and Strauss. Kids will listen to a story (created by a teacher) and move to the music of each dance. They will learn the names of the dances, such as can-can, csárdás (Hungarian dance), and waltz as well as some of characteristics that make each dance different.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.Reviews
