Perfecting developmentally appropriate ballet technique is important before skills can be linked together. Students get to practice and perfect individual ballet skills during the Developing Skills part of class. Next the class transitions to dancing across or around the room. This play based exploration also stimulates their brain pathways as they continue the discovery of new concepts and principles through ballet movements such as pliés, tendus, piqués,bourrées,turns, balances, and more! Next dancers explore the daily theme or concept with a standing ballet warm up that stimulates and strengthens their ballet technique and vocabulary. The warm ups are designed to allow the child to interact, imagine and play with their instructor and peers while getting focused and calm for optimal learning. Each Warm Up includes breath and meditation, brain and body stretches, an audio recording with relaxing music, a story book and a fun prop to interact with. Next we explore the concept through movement by performing a short movement activity for our Kinesthetic Learners.Īfter we introduce our Concept, classes begin with an imaginative, multi-sensory warm up called Dance Me a Story™. We may even use a prop for our hands on, tactile learners.
Next we get hands on with the visual by either moving it or tracing it.
Next we practice saying the concept and interacting with the concept using auditory cues such as music or instruments for our Auditory Learners. We use a fun visual aid with bright colors that the dancers can recognize to captivate our Visual Learners. We begin each class introducing a new Dance Concept each week. The Dance to Learn® Curriculum is a conceptual approach to dance education using a multi-sensory teaching technique designed to captivate the whole child. Dance Exploration uses the Dance to Learn® Curriculum, a whole child, conceptual approach to dance education. Preschoolers are invited to dance, learn and grow in a positive, nurturing environment lead by a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Dance Exploration’s PreBallet classes at the Castle Rock Rec Center, are a preschooler’s introduction to the art of ballet.
