Creative children's dance
In Creative Children's Dance, children are introduced to various aspects of dance in a playful way.
Coordination, perception of the own body and motor skills are promoted. In addition to a sense of rhythm and musical experience, awareness of spatial forms and orientation in space are trained. Working together in a group with mutual consideration and attentiveness is practiced. Within the structure of clear rules, space is created for the individual and the children are encouraged to express themselves in their own way, with their own movements. Self-confidence is strengthened.
During the lesson, movement-intensive phases alternate with quieter moments of relaxation and bodywork.
The class includes fixed dance exercises on a simple level as well as dance improvisation. Rhymes and language games support the rhythmic training and help to remember movement sequences more easily.
In improvisations, the children can give free rein to their imagination and joy of discovery, express feelings or create stories. The older ones also practice creating small movement sequences themselves.
The main focus is on the joy of movement and dancing together. The level of difficulty is adapted to the age and the level of the group and goes smoothly over to modern dance/contemporary dance. It is possible to join at any time.
