JOIN ALI IN THIS DEVELOPMENTAL DANCE MOVEMENT® (DDM) BASED SESSION,
PART OF MOVEMENTWORKS® 'DANCE ON DEMAND
Each MovementWorks On Demand Developmental Dance Movement® based session contains a variety of dance movement-based games and activities which are demonstrated by the teacher and accompanied with clear instructions both verbally and using Makaton.
The activities are not focused on learning particular dance styles or steps and are therefore appealing to both girls and boys. The work is process rather than performance led which nurtures a safe, encouraging and supportive learning environment; sessions are physiologically sound and advocate inclusivity.
Appropriate stimulation develops a strong foundation for learning
Children are encouraged to practice fundamental physical skills that appropriately stimulate the senses; visual, aural, tactile, vestibular and proprioceptive. This enables the specific co-ordination and control which will most directly assist the developmental maturity required to support school readiness and allow children to excel in all areas of learning.
Fun and Informative
The DDM programme takes into careful consideration both the recreational and education potential dance has to offer. Sessions closely link with other specific areas for learning, particularly literacy and maths. For more information. please visit our What is Developmental Dance Movement? webpage
In this session
Ali introduces the structure of a DDM workshop using a visual timetable made of cards with the name and image of the activity. Following the warm up which involves singing, clapping and movement, it’s time to dance! Ali leads two dance movement sections iwith two different tempos of music. Participants copy Ali’s moves in the first one ‘Say hello to your body’ where she demonstrates different moves for her head, shoulders, waist and legs; in the second one participants can use their own dance moves (or copy Ali) and when the music stops Ali guides them in poses to represent a number of different animals. The last activity is a the Windmill game, participants copy Ali’s moves as she sings. The session is closed by Ali singing the MovementWorks® 'Goodbye' song.
