Expressive Dance

This week was our last Expressive Dance lesson with Susan. We are all sad to have dance finish, it has been a wonderful experience. This week the children learnt how to do the yoga pose flower as part of the warm up. We continued making shapes with our bodies this week. The children took turns being clay and a sculpture, Susan reminded the children to be gentle as they moved their partners body into place. The children then created a giant painting together (see the pictures below) by creating interesting shapes with their bodies on a wall. The children were very excited when we finished dance, I encourage you to ask your child what was their favourite part of dance.

 

Human Paintings

Dance Workshop

Today the prep children participated in the last of the three workshops held by Susan. Here are some more pictures of the children dancing.
