Overview

Let’s get moving and learning! These fun dance sessions help children stay active while learning about music. Some dances link to our music genres, and others use our special Rhythmic Pyramid – it’s cool and original!

We move, clap, and dance to the beat. It’s a great way to feel music in our bodies!

Music Tip: Clap the beat before you dance to help everyone stay in time.

Teacher Tip: Keep it fun and relaxed – children learn best when they’re enjoying themselves!
