Description
Class Experience
Ignite your little one's love for dance and imagination in this 30 minute pre-dance class. In the first 15 minutes of class we will explore basic ballet and dance movement to fun music, by stretching, dancing, playing. We will then pretend we're going on a train ride to the jungle and explore how different animals move! Together we will learn an upbeat animal themed dance that will be fun to share with family and friends. In the end of class we will cool down with toddler friendly yoga...
Learners will expand their vocabulary of ballet and dance movement, and work on developing basic motor skills and musicality. Learners will explore how to move their bodies in creative ways including balance, hoping on two feet and one, walking on tippy toes, as well as moving fast and slow, stretching high and crouching low. Learners will also learn to put together a sequence of movements to form a fun short dance.
Mrs. Olivia has been teaching for 17 years, teaching dance of all forms to dancers of all ages. She holds her MFA in Ballet Teaching and Choreography, as well as BFA in Ballet Performance. She has developed many online pre-dance curriculums to help young learners fulfill their love of dance, virtually!
30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Safety is our top priority. Learners should have an open space free of loose objects they could bump into or trip over. Learners should also have comfy sneakers, ballet slippers, or socks with grips, to help avoid slipping on the floor. A warm-up is incorporated into the class to ensure learners warm-up their bodies before the dancing begins. A water bottle is recommended to have nearby. Parental Guidance is encouraged to ensure learners stay on task and within their designated dance space.
