FLEX-モアナダンスクラス

If you enjoy the song How Far I'll Go from Moana, you will love this class. This is a flex class therefore we will not meet live, learners will be sent videos and encouraged to send Miss Joice a video sharing their show and tell item as well as video of the choreography as we have learned it and practiced. Additionally, they can share their activity sheet throughout the week too.

This is a perfect way to mix the entertainment of the song with some gross motor skills. We will learn some choreography, dance to a lot of upbeat songs from the movie and more. Throughout the class we will talk about how dance movement can help us remember words to the songs and vice versa. This is the perfect way for your learner to get the wiggles out by dancing as well as teaching their brain multi tasking. 

Each week learners will receive a video to follow as we learn our choreography. After class, learners will be given a show and tell assignment as well as an activity sheet to color to continue the learning process. Learners are encouraged to send Miss Joice a video sharing their show and tell item, their activity sheet as well as practice their choreography. Miss Joice will always reply to these videos. 

Each week we will learn portions of the dance as well as talk about the following:
