Arabesque School of Dance
 

Pre-School Dance 21/2-4yrs


The Pre-school Dance Curriculum aims to capture and nurture young children’s instinctive joy of movement and freedom of expression. It is designed to enable children to participate in dance activities that are developmentally appropriate, helping to facilitate the learning of dance skills at a later age.

The goals for the Pre-school Dance Curriculum are:

  • To enhance children’s movement abilities and physical fitness
  • To aid children in becoming physically and spatially aware
  • To stimulate children’s listening skills
  • To encourage children to move expressively
  • To build children’s confidence and self esteem
  • To encourage children to become co-operative and sociable
The content of the class is therefore non prescriptive, i.e. there are no set exercises to follow. To help stimulate the creative process, themes are provided within each level along with the use of props.

Ballet shoes are a requirement for safety reasons – pink for girls and white for boys, Royal Academy of Dance uniform is required.
