What will we do during lesson: develop locomotor skills, learn to balance on one foot, stretch, improve flexibility and muscle strength Structure of the lesson: 1. We will start with warming up activities, muscle stretching; body core workout; 2. Kids will learn positions of feet and arms in ballet; basic ballet movements like: plie (bending), tendu (leg stretching), releve (rising up on tiptoe), jumps 3. We will learn about dance space: personal and general area, directional (forward, backward, or diagonal movement), pathways (space created by movement of the dancer) 4. Creative dance: we will explore emotions, music tempo, energy levels and force 5. Kids will learn simple dance compositions 6. Conclusion of the lesson: learning curtsy While per Outschool policy parents can not be seen on the screen, experience shows their presence in the room is very beneficial. Children in this age participate better when encouraged by adults. Some students like to dress up for my classes. However, please make sure that kids wear clothing that is comfortable for exercise. Wearing many layered clothes like a ballroom dress may be challenging for children. In case you can not open ZOOM to sign in, please refer to the Helpline option "Cannot access the class". I open classroom several minutes prior to the start of the class to make sure my system works and assist to parents within my abilities. Ones class started, I am busy teaching and all questions should be forwarded to the Helpline :)
Learning Goals

Parental Guidance
Lessons should be not only fun, but safe: students would need to wear comfortable clothing, dance in open safe space, wear either ballet shoes, or non slippery socks, or comfortable shoes. Kids should not be wearing long, many layered dresses, it will make their exercise difficult and uncomfortable.
Light warming up activity can be done prior to the lesson to prepare body for the exercise.
We will use soft toy as a prop. Great to have round shape toy (an example: diving ring).
Please prepare also red and blue color toys for using it when we learn: right/left
