Creative Movers is the first grade in the Creative Dance for Early Years syllabus from Rambert Grades – a pioneering contemporary dance syllabus created by two of the world’s leading contemporary dance organisations: Rambert and Rambert School.

Celebrating movement at the earliest stage, Rambert Grades Creative Dance classes encourage each child to explore movement, developing physical skills, harnessing musicality and encouraging confidence.

Each class takes children on an imaginary journey with endless themes. An energetic warm up is followed by physical skills development, as children learn structured movement material. Creative intuition is encouraged with a closing creative exploration to dive deep into their imagination. Swimming with whales, flying rockets to the moon or adventuring through the desert – every class is different.

As children move through three grades, Creative Movers, Pre-Primary and Primary, we celebrate six qualities: Communication, Teamwork, Generosity, Effort, Listening and Enthusiasm.

Our new Creative Movers class is held every Thursday from 4.15pm – 4.45pm in our Abingdon West Wing studio. Helen Lloyd – our Rambert Grades qualified teacher – will lead children through thematic exploration, with the first term focusing on All Creatures Great and Small, where children will have fun using their imagination to explore weekly themes, such as:

• Prehistoric Pranks,
• Minibeast Mahem,
• Rainforest Rave,
• Alien Antics,
• Farm Frolics,
• Seaworld Swing, and
• Jungle Jinks.

Creative Movers is a class designed to celebrate movement in all of its forms. The classes boast a warm atmosphere where individuality is embraced and encouraged, and children can learn to move and express themselves in a way that feels good, without fear of judgement!
