Dance With Me Berkshire

A creative dance class for toddlers to preschoolers & their carers. Explore, move, dance, play, bond. There are no wrong steps! Many thanks.

Bookings now being taken on Happity https://www.happity.co.uk/dance-with-me-berkshire Dance with me gives children and adults the opportunity to connect through movement and dance. A fun, friendly and relaxed environment, where we explore, dance and move together through theme based play. Hi, my name is Hannah and I have been teaching early years dance for 18 years in and around Berkshire. I have

taught in a variety of settings, from private to main stream schools, stage schools to community groups. Dance with me was created to provide children and their carers with the opportunity to dance together. It is a fully interactive class and encourages exploration of movement whilst creating a unique bonding experience. Dance is my passion and since having two of my own mini movers, I can see how beneficial and beautiful dancing together can be. Adults and children alike are asked to remove all footwear (although adults may wear slipper socks or soft dance shoes if they wish) and wear comfortable clothing for dancing. The class is not choreographed and even if you have never danced a step in your life, I encourage you to give it a try. A FREE taster session is available for everyone so that you can come and sample what we do! The class runs for 45 minutes with a 15 minute snack and story time at the end. Please bring along your own snacks and may I ask that you refrain from bringing any products containing nuts. Regular classes take place on a Wednesday morning from 9.30-10.30 at Hurst Village hall. Fees
6 week block of classes - £39.00 for children walking - 4 years

If you are bringing more than one child the following discounts apply -

Younger siblings are very welcome feel free to bring baby in a sling and let them enjoy the fun too! Please do not hesitate to contact me either via this page or by email if you have any queries or questions. I look forward to meeting you soon!

I CAN’T BELIEVE…

My son has done his first year at secondary school and is about to start year 8! This time last year we were both so nervous about what the year ahead would bring. I could not be prouder of how he has managed this past school year, he has thrown himself into life at secondary and taken up opportunities given to him, made lots of new friends, found his favourite teachers who support him in all aspects of school (not just their lessons) and found a confidence that he’s continuing to grow by himself. Some of the key things we have worked on to get here are:

Talking about and understanding emotions. Identifying them in ourselves and others.
Coping with and expressing them in appropriate ways.

Showing our children that we find things hard too! Adults don’t have it all worked out! Talking (appropriately) about our stressful days and how we overcame them, if we did. Knowing that tomorrow is a new day.

Nothing is permanent, everything changes and it can all be worked out, together.

Making time and space for hard conversations, this isn’t always easy when life is so busy but we try to make sure that the time is available. Having the puppy has helped. Side by side walking is an amazing way of talking to teens/tweens, as well as in the car.

All a work in progress and obviously there are ups and downs but taking this year as a massive win 🏆

Here he is helping me on his ‘take your child to work day’ where he joined me doing yoga at one of my nurseries!

Dance is an expressive art that traditionally doesn’t involve verbal communication. The body does the talking. Gestures, facial expressions and eye contact all complement the bodies ability to convey a message.

At Dance With Me we often have younger siblings who are not yet walking and talking. Seeing them enjoy the movement and sounds around them is heartwarming. Small movements begin, responding to the music and making eye contact with other children and adults is the start of their dancing journey!

I CAN’T BELIEVE…

I did the 5K Pretty Muddy Event! Back in May I ran with my daughter and sister in law in memory of Kim, my husband and Kathryn’s mum, who we lost 20 years ago. Together with a group of my daughters friends we raised £1700 for Cancer Research 💖 I’m not a big fan of running, but I really surprised myself by getting through it (and a lot of mud) with a little bit of dancing and cartwheeling along the way 😂

Starting a new nursery, pre school or big school can be daunting. When children have attended an activity class they learn skills that can help them in those early days.

💜 Arriving and settling down to start
💙 Listening to adults
💜 Interacting with other children
💙 Learning and remembering the structure of the day/class
💜 Resilience

Learning a new skill can take up to 400 repetitions to create a new synapse (neural path) but when it’s done through play it can take just 12 repetitions. This is because the chemical dopamine is released.

Let that be a lesson to us all! More play, more joy, more laughter!

I CANT BELIEVE….

I was wearing a fleece and leggings at the start of June 😮 We had already had the first heatwave at the end of May so I’m not sure when the cooler weather was?! The heatwaves seem to have blended into each other! This picture makes me feel even hotter that I already do right now 😂

We all know that movement is good for the body and dance helps strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, balance and coordination.

Dance is also amazing for little developing brains, improving cognitive development. New neural connections form in areas such as executive function (skills such as self control, flexible thinking, organisation), long term memory and spatial awareness.

And if that wasn’t enough of a perfect combination, then add in improving mood, emotional outlets and reducing stress!

What’s not to love!

I CAN’T BELIEVE…

We got a puppy this year! After two years of trying to convince me, PowerPoint presentations, further negotiations, we finally took the plunge! I still can’t believe she’s ours! It has been and still is a rollercoaster and I’m lucky to have plenty of friends to hold my hand along the way and give me sound advice! Puppies are not for the feint hearted 😂 6 months of our Miss Yellow (that was her original collar colour!) Layla 💛
