Creative Movement - Ages 3-4
Creative Movement is a specialized class for the younger dancer. Our primary focus is on the gross motor skills required for dance such as hopping, leaping, skipping and jumping. Preliminary ballet technique including knowledge of the five positions, as well as many other ballet basics will be introduced.
In addition to developing physical skills, musicality and tempo are emphasized. Matching facial expression and emotion along with sensing the rhythm of the music is a crucial part of dancing. Proper terminology is always defined- as all are in French or Italian.
All preliminary dance terms will be memorized by the end of the year. To make learning these skills more enjoyable, the exercises are set in the form of games, exciting and interesting music, and imagination. At Danza Dance Academy we believe the development of a young child’s social skills is vital to their experience.
Therefore, our Creative Movement curriculum includes the practice of patience and respect through the act of taking turns, waiting in line, following directions, and of course, always showing respect for your fellow classmates and instructors.
Creative Movement is a playful yet productive class for little ones to learn all the foundational skills needed to be a dancer.
