Dance like no one is watching

I still have amazing memories of ballet class. At the end of the lesson our teacher would play a piece of beautiful music. We would leap and dance around, dance anyway we wanted. Anything was possible.

Along with improving children's physical and psychological wellbeing, creative dance for small children approaches many ways of learning. Dance uses rhythm, honing children's aural skills, and giving them a chance to approach conceptual ideas through their bodies. 

Activity idea: Turn the music up loud and dance like no one's watching.
