Indian stories and dances for 3-6 years old (kindergarten)

Cours de danse enfants 3 à 6 ansThe purpose of this class is to awaken children to the possibilities of the body moving in space and in groups, through Indian dances and stories.

Our teachers, Catherine and Sarah, use stories as a tool, a pretext for movement. The idea is:
raise the awareness of the different parts of the body
listen, observe what is happening around and among us
discover the directions of space, the different possible levels (sitting, standing, etc.)
develop the imagination and creativity
use the characteristic elements of different Indian dances, folk and classical . Example:
     - Bharata-Natyam: mudras (gestures of the hands), facial expressions
     - Garba: dancing in a circle while clapping hands
     - Kathak: creating rhythms thanks to footwork

This weekly classis based on creative dance, based on a playful method of active pedagogy: the child itself explores the different possibilities and limits of its body into space. Our teachers guide each child in this exploration through games and improvisation. This allows it to trust iself, to pay attention to its classmates and to take its place in a group, while having fun moving on the swirling music of India.
