Floor spot hack 🔴

Learn Jazz 1st and 2nd positions of the feet ✅

This exercise is something we do at the start of a new academic year with our little ones.

We're in a strange period where a lot of students just want to learn tricks or want to progress to advanced steps straight away... But for us, basics are key! Establishing the basics, including terminology, is crucial so that students can progress effectively. Having a strong base to work from means students ultimately have more capacity to excell.

That's why we are so passionate about creating FUN ways for our youngest dancers to learn. If they're enjoying themselves, if the experience feels like a game, it becomes engrained, setting them up for the next level.

Follow along for weekly tips and ideas that we use in our classes. 🫶

Your weekly dose of Monday Motivation! ❤️

Dance teachers are one of the few types of people who genuinely champion your child for trying, and failing.

(Yes, you did hear that right).

Failure is dance is not negative. Making a mistake means a student has been brave enough to actually try something that is outside of their comfort zone. We think this is pretty awesome!

Every mistake means our students are pushing themselves to try something that is challenging. Of course we give corrections and guide them to improve, but the mistake in itself can actually be where the growth happens. 🌱

Teachers have an important responsibility to make sure our students understand that mistakes are not something to be ashamed of. They are proof that we are trying to improve. 🫶

Baby class theme ❤️

Next week we will be starting our Treasure Island theme in all Baby Ballet & Dance Foundations classes🪎 🧭⚓

This theme takes us to a mysterious desert island where we go exploring, find a magic map and dig for treasure... (Watch out for pirates!) 🦜🏴‍☠️

Miss Emily has over 30 themed lesson plans for ages 2-4. All follow a magical story that children can relate to and explore in their own way. Each theme allows for practice of a range of dance skills, strength, coordination and creative movement.

We can't wait to share this one with you 😍

Jump technique for young dancers ✅

How do we teach our students to do all of this ⬇️ when jumping AND have the best time ever?

Use their plie
Use their feet
Push off the floor
Extend their legs and feet in the air
Hold their core for stability

Simple.

The Rocket Game 🚀

This game is an amazing way to help children understand how to use their feet and legs to push off the floor during jumps...

By sitting down and replacing the floor with a wall, students can better feel the impact of using the legs and feet to push away.

By placing the hands on the head, they are forced to use their legs and feet only.

Their core muscles will also automatically engage to stop their body flying backwards.

They can check their position both before and after launching (starting position: heels on the wall, knees bent. Ending position: both legs straight, feet pointed).

These two shapes translate directly to what we want to achieve when jumping.

Once we have done this game, we then practice our jumps in the centre, imagining the floor is the wall so we can use our legs and feet in the same way. 💪

TIP:
Do the game in two groups. One group gets ready to launch, the other watches and gives them a count down (10, 9, 8, 7 .... etc). Afterwards make sure the rocket group stays still, and the other group can come and check who managed to launch the furthest, who managed to keep their feet and legs extended, and so on!

Our students absolutely LOVE this game 😍

Try it yourself and let us know your thoughts ❤️
