Dance classes for 2 - 5 years old kids at BBT | The School of Russian American Ballet

                                                             SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE from Thursday, September 6, 2018

   Let’s take an example that everybody understands. Let’s pretend that you can speak but have never written anything. You don’t know the letters; you don’t have eye-hand coordination to write letter properly; you can not distinguish sounds of the spoken words for them to become written words. You can not express yourself in writing - too many problems with the Process of writing.

   It’s the same with the music and dance. How can anybody express themselves in a dance if they can not hear rhythm, style, tempo, and dynamic of music, can not coordinate body movement with all this components of the music? It’s difficult, if not impossible.

   Music Appreciation class yields the basic knowledge and skills for all components of music and body coordination. It’s designed to train and coordinate the audio perception and kinesthetic reaction to the music, it teaches children self-coordination and self-control and in addition to all that,

                                                                                                         It is fun!

   All these goals and objectives described above put in a form of music games that go from a simple recognition of the descriptive music and it’s kinesthetic response, to musical story-telling.

   Parents are very welcome in the class. They can not only see what their children are doing, they are active participants in the process of acquiring all those vital skills. They get involved in activities with their children and share that very emotional, uniting, and dynamic excitement for their own children, as well as relive their own childhood with their children for just a short time each week. This experience of bonding expression is as precious as it is priceless!

   The instructor is Julia Portville, an award winning music teacher with 20 years of experience working with pre-school and kindergarten children in Russia and 6 years with The Brighton Ballet School.

Learn, have fun, allow your children to express themselves with you.
