Dance class practice for kids in Hornsby
As a dance teacher, it is truly special and magical, when we see a child’s eyes light up as they master a step they have been practising for a long time or when they have the ‘ah ha’ moment in class and feel so proud of what they have achieved.
As a parent, you feel a sense of pride when you see your child progressing in class and it is the most warming feeling when you witness the confidence and belief that they have in their own dancing ability.
Progression and a child’s sense of achievement, has a lot to do with how much they practice. But it doesn’t have to be overwhelming or daunting. In fact, dance practice can and should be, something they look forward to in their day and something that is fun, exciting and easy to do.
We suggest that children start practicing their dance moves at home, once they are in Grade 1 or 2 at school. Prior to this, there are many other elements our children are working on such as confidence, friendship building, listening skills and so much more… In our Mini and Emerald Gem classes, our teachers go on stage with them at our dance performances, so extra practice is not usually necessary.
If they are at a stage where they would like to implement a dance practice routine at home, we have put together a list of ways they can conquer their dance moves and remember steps easily and effectively. We hope this can help you, as the parent, support your child in their dance journey.
