Class Overview:

 

The 'Kiddies' program is for children who are in their final year of kinder or first year of Prep. Children are expected to be more acquainted with working in a group under the guidance of a teacher.

 

The program aims to present a ballet class in a way that will keep a small child’s interest by having fun and being imaginative.

The programs become a little more complex as the year progresses, to accommodate the children’s preparation for school readiness.

While all children have varied co-ordination abilities, we try and aim to teach all children to skip prior to them going to school.

 

The class offers:

• Dancing to music

• Use of props (such as ribbons, wands)

• Musical instruments

• Basic movement co-ordination of gross motor skills

• Basic introduction to some ballet steps

• An introduction to concepts such as:

• Group co-operation

• Waiting ones turn

• Following the leader

• Working in partners

• Working together as a group

 

While it is important to us to give the children a fun and positive experience, we also feel strongly about teaching them the basics of dance. This differentiates us from activities where the goal is predominantly to entertain or just amuse children, sometimes with completely different class content each week.

 

Themes:

The program revolves around a single theme which lasts for a term, allowing the child to become familiar with the routine of the class. This gives them that sense of security and helps to develop particular movement skills through repetition.

 

There is a strong narrative that runs through all the themes to keep the children’s interest, while learning the foundations of dance and therefore, learning through the sense of play.

 

Class Structure:

While there is a very strong theme and narrative which runs through the class, it is structured like a Classical ballet class for children. Each class is made up of particular elements which make up the basics of all dance classes.
