Skill Development

Dancers learn dance technique, steps, and the elements of dance through imagery, props, and play enabling children to intrinsically find safe alignment, functional and expressive movement. Healthy habits including warm up, cool down and stretch are essential to the dance session.

Performance

Frequent opportunities to showcase their learning in class and on stage are offered, building confidence in the dancers as they perform and grows appreciation, interpretive and reflective skills as they view peers.

Dance Making

Dancers use skill and concept knowledge to create their own dances individually and with peers. Creativity and collaboration is extended to all aspects of the dance making process, creating the sequence or story, right through to costume design.
