Nursery School Private Dance Teacher

A number of nurseries in Warrington have already realized the great rewards of adding dance sessions to their list of services.

I have experience in teaching all ages and specialize in working with those of pre-school age. I feel the classes are very rewarding for the children who benefit from this introduction to dance.

Physical and creative development are vital parts of the early year's curriculum, and through our dance sessions, I cover a great deal of these areas with the children. I have also seen the great benefits in children especially shy and with those children who have some behavioral problems.

All children love to dance with props, therefore many of our dances are performed with scarves, ribbons, wings, feathers, wands etc.

Pre-school children will develop skills in:

• Coordination, Balance, and Control
• Creativity and imagery
• Spatial awareness
• Working with others in partners or groups
• Musicality – recognizing tone and pitch, tempo, rhythms, and what the music sounds like or how it makes you feel
• Self-discipline and Confidence

And gain a basic understanding of:

• Posture
• Parts of the body
• Rhythm
• Mime

Each session is divided into five areas:

• Warm Up – Simple move around the room. This warms the muscles in preparation.
• Floor work – sitting exercises focusing on various parts of the body.
• Circle work – movements for balance and muscular control and strength.
• Co-ordinated moves – jumping, skipping, hopping, galloping
• Mime and musicality – Roleplay to music, little stories we can show through dance.

All of the exercises incorporate imagery in some way or another, encouraging creativity, expression, and individuality. Often it will be the children who come up with an idea that matches the music that I will then go on to use time and time again
