My daughter has been studying the Pilgrims at school. She jumped off the school bus Wednesday, her backpack full of papers, books, a half- eaten lunch and what she called an Indian hat. I looked at the paper with feathers in it and exclaimed “you ma…

Speaking from experience, when teaching children I sometimes need everyone to be still. Being still, "freezing" or not moving is a skill. I am sure I have said to a child at some point while teaching, “Stop moving” or “don’t move.” And I am equally…

Cultural Connections Through Dance

My daughter has been studying the Pilgrims at school. She jumped off the school bus Wednesday, her backpack full of papers, books, a half- eaten lunch and what she called an Indian hat. I looked at the paper with feathers in it and exclaimed “you made a Native American Headdress, how wonderful!” “What did you learn about Native Americans?” I asked. She shrugged. She began dancing around pretending to be an “Indian” like in the Peter Pan movie. I took her upstairs to our computer and googled "Nat… Continue

What does it mean to actually not move, what skills are you asking a child to use by being still and how can we as teachers and/or parents turn not moving to mastering a skill like m… Continue

For Preschool Dance Moms and Dads

Helping Your Preschooler Become Body Aware

It is so exciting when your baby takes her first step. When she lets go of your hands and teeters away. But now that your baby is a toddler/preschooler how can you help him discover more about his body, facilitate body awareness, strengthen gross motor skills and teach him to understand the space around him?

The answer is simpler then you think. Move with your child. Your child has mastered different skills like rolling, crawling and walking but be su… Continue
