This is a wonderful class for parents/carers to practise dancing with their pre schoolers and primary school age kids.

Sensory development in preschool and school age children has a very important place in dance education. In my work with children, I always aim to bring joy to the fore. The pleasure of playing games, the effect of world music, different accessories and fun routines have a great impact on learning. Because in this way, children not only learn dance moves, but also develop sensory and cognitive skills that will guide them.

While preparing this course, I blended its content with the Joimove technique. I included Latin dances' basic steps, Classical Ballet basic positions and combinations as well as Pop, Creative Drama and Meditation. Joimove's techniques help kids with their posture, balance and coordination, encourages artistic expression, creates musical awareness, and promotes joyful and playful communication within the family.

In this course there are 7 different dance styles to learn and practise, followed by creative drama and relaxation. From pop and ballet through teddy bear picnic and rock and roll, this full session engages both body and mind!

My daughter Lydia, then 8 (now 10) years old, accompanied me in preparing this course, and her great sense of humour and playful contributions made the content of this course much more fun and interactive for all ages.

We've had such good feedback since the course was launched that we wanted this enjoyable and educational content to reach even more children and families, and we've added it to Udemy.

Course is intended for purchase by adults / parents and guardians who will be supervising their children's learning.
