What a creative movement class is like
Five parts, in the same order every week, so a small dancer knows what comes next.
- 01
Step 1: Come in and settle
Shoes off at the door, then a few minutes of quiet moving on the floor.
- 02
Step 2: The hello song
The circle says hello to every dancer by name, with a wave.
- 03
Step 3: A story in motion
The teacher tells a short story, and the class becomes the animals in it.
- 04
Step 4: Scarves and hoops
Waving, stepping and tiptoeing with the props, one at a time.
- 05
Step 5: Goodbye
A slow stretch, a goodbye song, and the teacher hands each dancer back at the door.
