Young children love to move. Through movement children develop their bodies, their minds,
their confidence and their ability to communicate and express. Young children are learning all
the time and in these early years most of their learning is connected to movement. The
importance of movement in the development of children has been well researched and
documented by educationalists and psychologists alike. During these early years children are
involved in developing fundamental movement skills. Early exposure to developmentally
appropriate movement activities in an instructional environment can help children to acquire
skills and attitudes that are necessary for the future participation in physical activity e.g. sport or
dance. The sessions have been designed from a developmental perspective; addressing young
children’s cognitive, motor and affective (emotional and social) development and is therefore a
fusion of educational and developmental theory. Pre-school Dance Classes acknowledges the
importance of movement to young children and aims to provide a fun and safe learning
environment. The focus on movement does not imply its superiority over creativity, expression
or musicality; rather it exemplifies that movement is the medium for these elements to be
developed.

dance, space and how we relate to it, (both as an individual and as a member of a group) with
particular emphasis on musical rhythm, beat and time; opposites and directions. From this a
sense of self, creative expression, imagination, teamwork and basic body awareness evolves.
Children also learn the basics of classroom behaviour and manners which include how to take
turns, following another dancer of leading the way, waiting patiently, working together and
having a positive attitude
