This class is aimed at children aged 5-7 years with a little experience in Ballet. Learners are encouraged to wear fairy dresses/ballet outfits/tutu to the class but this is not a requirement. Please bring a wand(or something that can be used as a wand) to the class to use as a prop for the dance. Class Plan:- Short Introduction Easy Ballet Warm Up Learn the Ballet Dance Performance of Dance (Household members will be invited to watch their Learner perform from Off-Camera for the last 5 minutes of the class). Cool Down/Reverence Teaching Style:- I have a positive approach to teaching. I like to praise and encourage. When I'm speaking or have music playing I may keep the students muted so they are able to hear me/the music clearly but I will be interacting with the children throughout and checking on them for questions.
Learning Goals
Students will learn a short Ballet Dance to 'The Sugar Plum Fairy' from 'The Nutcracker' to perform at the end of the class.
