Welcome to the world of early childhood and the arts,a
world which we as Kinda Dance teachers explore and develop.
The Kinda Dance philosophy is to learn through movement,
education and to develop the children's creativity and
thought processes by encouraging them to use their bodies.
Kinda Dance develops the whole child.
 The
first criteria for a Kinda Dance instructor is that
they have a special place in their heart for children.
The combination of this criteria,along with our high
standard,results in the best movement and music program
ever developed.
Your Kinda Dance instructor is required to undertake
intense training prior to employment with us and ongoing
training is provided on a weekly basis to maintain the
standard of excellence set out in our syllabus. In addition,
all instructors are guided by an early childhood lecturer
on a monthly basis. Our instructors also undergo personal
development and business training.
Our Kinda Dance Programme has been carefully developed
with the cooperation of many experts in their field
and more importantly, tried, tested and loved by the
children themselves. The Kinda Dance programme consists
of:
–dance
created by the students. It involves growth, satisfaction,
self-expression and cognitive learning.
–our structural
dances are developmentally appropriate for early childhood.
We enhance motor learning through repetition and practice
of dance movements.
–the
opportunity to learn about the many cultures in our
society through dance and movement.
–movement
based activities – balancing, sliding, jumping,
tumbling and scarf and ribbon dancing will assist in
the development of coordination, confidence and self-esteem.
–non-competitive
skill building classes, whether it's basketball, bowling,
cricket or ball games, the children are sure to master
the moves.
–our main
aim with music is to expose the children to many different
types of music to broaden their knowledge. Out list
includes jazz, rock, new age, vocal, children's songs,
contemporary ethnic music and traditional. We also teach
the children:
- Instrument sounds and knowledge
- Musical improvisation
- Finger plays
- Musical games
- Chants
- To recognise musical notations
- To sing in tune and symbols
The Kinda Dance Music Programme develops the fundamental
music concepts.
- BEAT
- DYNAMICS
- PITCH RHYTHM
- TEMPO
- DURATION
–here the
children enter a world of make-believe. The Kinda Dance
puppet theatre being one of the favourite stories, hand
dancing, costumes, animal tails, masks, fairy dust and
bubble blowing to name a few. There is also an emphasis
on language and literary development. Our weekly activity
sheets for the children to take home encourage parent/child
interaction.
– because
at the end of each Kinda Dance class, the children have
been mentally and physically encouraged. We include
relaxation techniques in our programme to help create
a refreshing and calming effect.
–
the forumulas have been especially designed for use
in Early Childhood. Both teachers and the children benefit
from the therapeutic effects of these oils. Some oils
used are Tangerine, Niaouli, Frankincense, Lime, Spearmint,
Virginian Cedarwood, Grapefruit, Myrtle, Rosewood, Sweet
Orange, Mandarin, May Chang and Patchouli. More information
