Mini Movers- Creative Movement class:

Within the session the children will explore many different dance styles and movement, such as ballet, yoga and contemporary and drama. The children will engage in storytelling, using props and imagery to learn new skills without even knowing so! The children will be using their creativity to learn a range of motion, body awareness, balance, muscle strength, mobility, rhythm and co-ordination. Dancing provides positive association with exercise from an early age, encourages social interaction, speech and memory retention.  “The most important thing is that we have fun”

Mini Movers - Musical Theatre class:

The children will get the opportunity to act, sing and dance all within one session.  The classes involve creative drama exercises with expressive movement, alongside exploring vocal exercises and singing.

Vocal exercises are hugely beneficial for a child's speech and language development. Children explore and make new sounds in exciting and creative ways, whilst building confidence within an area which they may be new to.

Pre-School age is a great time to start developing these skills.

The aim for the class is to enhance a child self-confidence/awareness and creativity. Children will unknowingly be developing social skills whilst exploring new adventures and stories. Drama classes encourages the children to work well as a team. 

The class is fun and exciting, focusing on a new story each half term.
