Festive Fall! Bollywood Dance & Explore India With Ms Priya (Ages 4-6) 9 Weeks

This will be an engaging session that combines high-energy Bollywood Dance Choreography & Cultural learning on a weekly basis for 9 weeks! We will learn fun and active dance moves, focusing on form and movement execution, developing rhythm and coordination, improving memory, encouraging creativity, building confidence and more. Kids will gain a bigger cultural context while learning dance routine and they will be exposed to geographical location, outfits, festivals, and food.

Each class will alternate between dance components with 2 short breaks where we will learn cultural information via colorful pictures. General class structure includes a warm up, dance routine, colorful pictures to enforce cultural concepts, and cool down stretches. The session ends with a mini-recital where kids will be performing the dances learned! On the last day, dancers are encouraged to wear Indian or non-Indian outfits and perform the dance we learned during the session!

My approach to teaching is very interactive. I break down steps in a way that is easy for learners to relate to things they see & activities they do everyday. No prior experience needed. Kids will have the opportunity to interact in class. We will share, ask questions and balance dance with information on the chosen theme for the session.
