Creative Dance is non-gender specific, non-competitive & promotes confidence & self-expression through the joy of music, movement & dance. Classes integrate dynamic dance, stillness, strength & creative yoga, with the exploration of a different aesthetic theme each week. By being receptive to tones in music, use of props, themselves & each other, children develop & explore their innate individual creativity, somatic & spatial awareness- & freedom of expression.
Fabulous for skill-building in fine, motor, listening, social & play, creative dance has an emphasis on uplifting, joyful dance, while developing sensibilities & bringing inspiration & creative transformation into the day to day.
Importantly, children's classes nurture independance, with parents/ carers joining little ones in the studio space at the end of the class.
Creative dance is not based on performance or choreography- children develop confidence & independence by practicing coming into the studio by themselves, with the support of an encouraging parent/carer, rapport with Lisa & a favourite show & tell to cuddle as we settle around the purple blanket to begin. We invite families in to the studio for a dance & an explore at the end of the session. Families are able to watch the class & join in with our Celebration classes held during the last week of Terms 2 & 4.
