MOVING MONKEYS- PRE-SCHOOL DANCE CLASSES
I teach dance sessions at Pre-schools / nursery's on a weekly basis. Available for a minimum of 1 hour £45.00 which can be one group setting or split into 2 groups for 30minutes which is great if your setting has two rooms.
These dance sessions include singing, miming & moving with props such as ribbons, tapping sticks, scarfs, beanbags, shakers, tambourines, wrist bells, hats, magic wands, easter baskets & balance beam steps all to popular children's songs and nursery rhymes with a hop scotch bounce trail to end the session where the children receive a reward sticker.
The sessions are based in a circle and children stand on their own dance spots which I provide. The children also learn to dance with partners and dance solo in a free space & dance as a group following a leader. Your staff are encouraged to participate and to encourage the children to join in.
Sessions include various themes of which I change monthly!
Dinosaurs, Farm animals, Zoo animals, Countries, Holiday adventures, Under the sea, The beach, Super heroes, Circus, Disney, Styles of Dance, Nursery rhymes to seasonal themes like Christmas and Easter.
The repetition of the classes over each month improves building vital vocabulary from learning words like "big " "small" "High" "low" "slow" "fast" "up" "down" "in" "out" "stop" "wait"
The aim of these sessions is for children to have fun, build confidence, co-ordination & imagination along side learning & improving co-ordinated dance movements & listening skills while following instructions!
SCHOOL READY!
It is great seeing the children constantly improving through out the terms with their Loco-motor and Non-loco-motor skills as well as improving their listening, concentration, focus & following instructions! This is fantastic preparation for them to be learning before they start school.
I have worked with the following Pre-schools since 2010: Butterflies Heysham, Infinity Caton, Infinity Slyne, Little Stars Morecambe & Garstang Pre-school, Morecambe Bay Preschool & Sparrows Preschool.
