Melody Bear's
Welcome to the magical world of Melody Bear! A loveable teddy bear called Melody is the focal point of the syllabi and children are introduced to the joy of movement, song, dance and ballet from age 18 months upwards. It is a fun environment for your child to not only learn movement skills but also fundamental curriculum learning skills.
All syllabuses enable your child to participate in non-competitive award schemes which aside from building confidence give a sense of achievement. The awards include stickers, badges, medals, rosettes and trophies.
First Ballet (4 – 6 years) ….. Moving on from Melody Movement this syllabus is the ideal entry into the world of ballet. It introduces correct posture, foot positions and French ballet terminology. The music from certain well known ballets forms part of the syllabus and centre work further develops the children’s natural dance skills.
Little Bear Feet (18 – 24 months) ….. This syllabus is the first step into the magical world of Melody Bear. It is designed for pre-school children aged 18 months to 2 years and is the perfect introduction to dance and movement. The joy of dancing and singing is shared by parent and toddler as they join Melody Bear on her journey to Nursery Rhyme Land. There are delightful interpretations of traditional, familiar nursery rhymes together with new music and songs which inspire children’s natural zest for dance, movement and self-expression.
Melody Movement (2 – 4 years) ….. This syllabus is the next stepping stone moving on from Little Bear Feet. It introduces children to dance and movement using the natural actions of the body such as jumping, skipping, galloping, running, walking and hopping. It is structured to aid children’s physical development, co-ordination, spatial awareness, sensory development, creativity and self-expression working individually, with a partner or as a group.
Junior Ballet (6 – 8 years) ….. A step up from First Ballet, the Junior Ballet syllabus teaches the basics of ballet and dance introducing barre exercises to the already developing centre work. It has creative themes such as the Weeping Willow Fairy Dance and The Woodland Ball with the wicked witch as our uninvited guest. Children are introduced to ballets such as Swan Lake, Giselle and Coppelia.
