Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(8)
Similar to Irish Dance, but with more of a ballet influence, This class offers an introduction to Scottish Highland Dance through Music and Movement, including pre dance songs and finger games for coordination.
Class experience
The students will learn the basic foot and arm positions through music and songs. Coordination activities will also be included. We will start to learn Pas de Basques, an introductory dance that 4 to 6 year old dancers compete in. Class 1: “5 Little Monkey’s” and “Where is Thumpkin Song” to learn finger positions and practice coordination. “Beehive” song to learn first position Butterfly stretch and where will you fly to? Start to learn Hop Scotch Polka-go over spring points, a bow, and...
Students will improve their coordination, rhythm, strength, and musicality, all while learning a fun new dance form.
I love teaching Scottish Highland Dance! I have been dancing since I was 6 years old and I am now 31. I Placed 2nd, 3rd, and 5th at the US National Championships, and was the Southeast regional champion 3 times, the Carolina Open Champion, Atlantic International Champion, and Southern California Champion. I want to give Children the chance to gain confidence, self-esteem and poise-3 things which Highland dance provides.
The student will need a sturdy chair to hold on to, or a dance barre -if you have one (no need to buy one-a chair works just fine!) An open area to dance.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Dancers will need an open space away from furniture and toys. The floor must be clear of anything the child could trip on. The child must have a water bottle and parent supervision.
