For children in Moscow - not only choreography

CHILDREN'S CHOREOGRAPHY.

Choreography for children - the best way development musical ear, coordination, flexibility, the child will be able to form a good posture, become more self-confident, cheerful and open. In addition, this is a win-win option: there are no contraindications for choreography classes.

All children love to move to music. However, can you imagine what dance means for a child? No, this is not dexterity, creativity or posture ... In the dance, the child asserts himself. On the parquet dance studio or at home at the mirror, his inner “I” is actualized. Toddlers remain at the bodily level of development up to 3 years. And the better we work on the body of the child, the more harmonious the psyche he has! Also in adolescents and adults, the body is the foundation of personality. Therefore, if you say to yourself “There are no abilities for dancing,” then maybe you didn’t get something in childhood?

Life in the rhythm of the waltz

We, exemplary parents, often go beyond the image. It happens that the baby receives sharp shouts or inattention. And at the moment of testing negative feelings his body shrinks. Here it is dance that can help better than others in removing physical clamps and restoring emotional balance. And if the baby will systematically engage in dancing, then he will be presented with many chances for "psychotherapy". If you notice that your child is already a little star who loves to work for the audience, breaking applause, then children's choreography is the first thing!

Lessons for the little ones

Enthusiasm peanuts do not hold. But we are not talking about the choreographic system: in the lessons, children can behave freely. Choreography classes for children 2-3 years old are usually held in a playful way. And at the same time, they are taught to clap their hands for a reason, but following the right rhythm, stamping their feet and making other movements at the request. Imagination develops (“Try to jump like a frog! How about a bunny?”), Imitation abilities (“Repeat after me!”), Which are the basis for any training.

It is still too early for an introverted kid - someone who prefers loneliness instead of a noisy company to go to a group. Although there are modest people who, on the contrary, dance helps to become liberated.

If your little one likes it, then why not? But if there is a protest on your face, do not insist - everything has its time. Be responsible in choosing a teacher. The rigid manner of teaching and the orientation of the choreographer not on the process, but on the result can easily discourage a child from any desire for self-expression in dance.

Growing stars

kid with figurative thinking can not only dance beautifully cha-cha-cha, but also show the body of a bird singing. And all this on stage in front of admiring spectators! Impressive? Professionals say that it is possible to teach the basics of dance well only at preschool age, so choreography for children 3-5 years old lays good knowledge and foundation for the future. The task of the choreographer is to find the right combination of play and drill that will help the kids achieve without losing interest.

If you do not see your child on the ballet stage, then choose a dance studio where it is not customary to raise your voice to children. Six-year-old Nastya changed more than one dance club before I found mine. The secret was simple: encourage children for beautiful steps, instead of constant criticism. Everyone in the group has their own diary, in which, if successful, stars and hearts are glued. Remember also - your student is already holding a fairly high load, in which case dance lessons may be superfluous. And yet, the correct organization of the daily routine can relieve fatigue. Can you teach a little one like this? simple trick: felt tired - massage your fingers and rub your palms together until you feel warmth. Fatigue will disappear!

How to choose "your" dance school?

There are three main schools:

• Folk dance

• Classical

• Modern

How is it determined?

• Play videos of various styles and watch with your little one. Let the kid choose what is closer to him: expressive rock and roll or incendiary rumba?

• Meet the choreographer in person and attend a couple of his sessions

• Specify the possibility of performing on stage in your circle. It's a great experience for a child! In a studio that has a sponsor, there are more chances to instill in a baby performing arts. There are children's groups that traveled around at the age of 4-5 with their concerts different cities and countries.

• Consider the main practical points: - how far is the circle from houses - price questions - room temperature - mug equipment

It will be a shame when your child gets carried away, but you will not have the opportunity to carry him either because of a cold, or because of a distant and difficult road. Speaking of passion. Just yesterday he wanted to go dancing, and today his dreams are about equestrian sports ... For preschoolers, this is normal, never force a baby. You can tell a girl how great she looks on the floor, and a boy about the benefits of dancing to strengthen muscles. You know your child well and will quickly find positive motivation. Dancing is a voluntary activity, and it is very important that the baby does it with pleasure.
