why music and movement?

Did you know, 85% of brain development happens by the time a child is 3? Music and movement aids and enhances cognitive, physical, mental and emotional well being.
The songs and movement activities we do at Tiny Dancers engage and stimulate your child’s brain to improve skills such as coordination, gross and fine motor movement, social skills and expressing emotion in a healthy way.
We use a set list of songs and activities for the term as repetition is a wonderful tool to grow your toddlers confidence and self esteem. The predictability of knowing what to expect each week and being able to guess what comes next boosts confidence as they join in more and more. Physical movement such as clapping, stamping, waving etc. develops the coordination needed for two handed activities such as catching/throwing, drawing, and using cutlery etc. Tiny Dancer sessions develop children across the whole seven areas of learning of the EYFS curriculum:

  • Understanding the world - We sing topical songs about the environment we live in and the world around us.

  • Communication and language - We include key vocabulary and rhythm to help develop speech.

  • Personal, social and emotional development - We include learning about ourselves, social skills and emotions

  • Physical development - At the core of what we do, our movement activities develop gross and fine motor skills and the confidence to use new skills

  • Literacy - We begin to sound out phonics and letters

  • Expressive Art and Design - Our classes contain colourful stimuli and sensory toys/objects

  • Mathematics - We include numbers and counting up to 10.

WHY A MIXED AGE GROUP?

Being in a mixed age group gives little ones the chance to learn from each other. Our tiniest dancers imitate and copy, and our older ones have the opportunity to be helpful, patient and tolerant of their younger peers - this helps to develop our social skills. Our class is hugely popular with parents of siblings for this reason as our classes are not split into age groups so children are able to participate together.
