The Melody Bear & Milligan Bear Syllabus has been created in the UK, to inspire children at the start of their dance journey. Experienced dance teachers and early years education specialists have created many different themed lessons for children throughout the year, which will enable children to observe, learn, perform their dance exercises in the first week and memorise and repeat the exercises in the second week, before changing themes fortnightly. The dance classes will allow your child to freely express themselves, as they immerse themselves in creative stories and magical adventures, learning about the world around them and exciting a child’s imagination. Children are introduced to dance and movement with a ballet base, using the natural foundation actions of the body such as bending, stretching, pointing, flexing, running tip toes, tip toe walking, jumping, skipping, galloping, hopping and marching. The structure of the lessons have been designed to help develop a child’s physical development, co-ordination, balance and strength. In addition, children will learn movement vocabulary, build concentration, creativity and confidence. Props and musical instruments are incorporated in the dance studio engaging a child’s interest and stimulating musicality, which includes learning basic concepts of starting and stopping with the music, introduction to rhythm, sounds and patterns, through specially created music and nursery rhymes. Children bring their own soft teddy or doll to class to dance along, sing along and listen along with Melody Bear, Milligan Bear, Teachers, Parents and Friends. Melody Bear & Milligan Bear are the focal point to assist a child’s concentration, as well as providing a sense of security whilst settling into their dance class. The Little Bear Feet Dance class will build young bodies and minds and support children before they move up to the Melody Movement level, in a fun, nurturing environment. It is a beautiful introduction to dance for young children as they discover the enchanting world of dance and instil a love of dance with wonderful life long memories at Dance Kids Australia.
