Curriculum Corner: Pajama Week

3/6/2023

0 Comments

 
Pajama week is always so fun and it is the perfect week to share an important message. At the end of our adult fitness classes we always take a moment to enjoy how our bodies feel after movement. We took a few mindful moments at the end of our kids dance classes to enjoy how strong, joyful & happy our bodies felt. In a few of our classes we tried a meditation activity and the dancers stayed so still while we placed a gem on their forehead.

In our toddler Tippy Toes classes, dancers continue to work very hard on their balance. We are so proud of how well they walk on the balance beam!

In Pre-Ballet classes, dancers worked on strengthening their feet and using their demi plie as they pretended they were monkeys "jumping on the bed." In tap they worked on running flaps like butterflies.

In Pre-Ballet II classes dancers practiced a new song, "Heel & Toe" which works on flexion of the feet, partner dancing & group dancing. In tap they were introduced to the buffalo step.

In 7-8 year Ballet & Jazz we introduced the creative side of dance: choreography. Each dancer had to design a dance that featured a grapevine, pivot turn, jazz square, scissors & a final pose.
​
In ACRO the dancers are getting very independent in their skills and proud of their progress. Our focus has been strengthening our upper body for back bends (upside down wheel) and cartwheels. We are hoping to put these skills in our recital dances in the Spring
