11 – 11.45 Dalcroze Movement and Music – led by Jacqueline Vann. Creative, joyful and playful movement and music activities, each week with a different theme and with lots of scarves, balls and hoops. A wonderful way to introduce children to the foundations of music and dance.
This combination of sessions offers a really wonderful and exciting foundation for young children.
Both tutors are very experienced practitioners. They bring to the sessions a depth of understanding of important foundation skills – not just for music and creative arts but physical and emotional skills that are the foundation of all our communication and social awareness.
“My child loves it!”’
“The structure of the classes really allows them to grow in confidence, to learn how to follow others but also express themselves individually”
