Baby Dance Curriculum
Each week, we focus on one of the six patterns of total body connectivity:
- Breath: Connecting breath with movement to enhance relaxation and awareness
- Core-Distal: Exploring movements that extend from the core to the extremities
- Head-Tail: Encouraging fluidity and coordination between the head and tailbone
- Upper-Lower: Balancing movements between the upper and lower body
- Body Halves: Coordinating movements that involve the left and right sides of the body
- Cross-Lateral: Integrating movements that cross the midline of the body, promoting brain development and coordination
Each session incorporates a variety of music and dance styles, encouraging reflections on preferences and experiences.
