STORY MOVES - Creative Movement for 2-5s

New Creative Movement Classes for 2-5s have just launched! The classes are child-led and exploratory in focus, inspired by Reggio Emilia Pedagogy. My vision is to inspire:

CREATIVITY

CURIOSITY

PLAYFULNESS

SELF-EXPRESSION

IMAGINATION

"Adults admire their environment; they can remember it and think about it - but a child absorbs it"

- Maria Montessori

Dance helps with balance, co-ordination, strength and the development of fine and gross motor skills. It develops confidence, and builds self-esteem. It creates community and develops social connections. Creative movement builds imagination and a sense of curiosity about the world. Moving connects body to brain!

One parent commented: "This class is great. It really fosters imagination" and another expressed how their child loves it and has so much fun!

Each session we take a popular children's story book to inspire our movement. Examples include, "Tiddler", "The Gruffalo" and "My Many Coloured Days". Stories are rich in movement material and can inspire a wide range of ideas. It's such a joy seeing the little ones' imagination come alive!
