DISNEY KIDS: Magical Music and Movement Extravaganza

Welcome to the most enchanting 30 minutes of your week! Our DISNEY KIDS class is a magical journey where fun meets creativity, and beginners are our special guests! 

In this whimsical adventure, we start with a cheerful round of introductions and share our excitement for Disney magic. Next, we warm up our singing voices with a fun vocal exercise that will have everyone ready to shine! 

Then, get ready to dive into the heart of Disney as we watch the song of the week straight from the movie magic itself. We’ll chat about what makes the song so special and explore its meaning before we sing along together. No pressure—just joy and laughter! 

Following our singing session, it’s time to let our imaginations run wild with playful acting exercises. From pretending to be your favorite characters to creating silly scenarios, it’s all about having fun and expressing ourselves! 

As the grand finale, we’ll let you become the choreographer of your own dance! We’ll discuss how to express the song through your own unique moves, making every part of the song come alive with your personal flair. 

With 4 years of experience teaching this class, I can’t wait to share the Disney magic with you. It’s a highlight of my week and I’m sure it’ll become a highlight of yours too! 

So grab your imagination and your favorite Disney spirit—let’s make some magic together!
