​Foundations of Movement & Dance for Young Children  ​

Instructor: Kitty Keyser

Creative Dance and Movement is designed to help children discover movement, spatial awareness, rhythm and form. Emphasis in class is on exploration and experimentation in a cooperative atmosphere. Placement is primarily according to age or instructor's approval. Level one will incorporate movement that is fun, often with music. Level two, will do the same but the movements will become more complex. Level three is a continuation of level two, but more improvisation, references to modern dance and ballet (known as “pre-dance” or “pre-ballet”), will be included.  Note: This class was originally called "Creative Dance & Movement for Children."  

   

• Foundations 1 (Ages 4-6) Wednesdays 3:45-4:30pm $90 per month

• Foundations 2 (Ages 6-9)  Wednesdays 3:30-4:30pm  $95 per month

The instruction in this class is grounded in the foundation of technique, method, kinetic basics, and universal rules of classical ballet.  The class is slow to mid paced, but as the students learn more and more, it will have more continuous movement as a part of the class. The historical and aesthetic reasoning for the movement will also be relayed, using a direct informative approach, with some incorporation of basic aesthetic kinesis, anatomy, motivity and kinesiology as well as movement fundamentals.
