for energetic and imaginative 3 to 5 year olds
Creative Movers is a fun and energetic dance class for 3 to 5 year olds which celebrates movement at its earliest stage. These classes take children on an imaginary journey, encouraging each child to explore movement; developing physical skills, harnessing musicality, and encouraging confidence.
Born from the partnership between two of the world’s leading contemporary dance organisations: Rambert and Rambert School, Creative Movers is the first level of the Rambert Grades syllabus – a pioneering new contemporary dance syllabus.
Creative Movers takes place every Thursday, from 4.15pm – 4.45pm, in our Abingdon West Wing Studio (Coxeter House, OX14 3RG). The first class is free!
During Creative Movers classes, children are guided by our Rambert Grades Certified Teacher, Helen Lloyd, as they experience 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. Fighting with dragons, exploring the rainforest, or adventuring to mythical lands by flying carpet – every class is different. We encourage children to draw on their creativity to express themselves through movement. There are no right or wrong steps in Creative Movers – only a fun experience which feels like play time in every class!
As children move through the syllabus, we celebrate six qualities: Communication, Teamwork, Generosity, Effort, Listening and Enthusiasm.
Dance is considered to have long-term benefits to children’s physical and mental health. These benefits include:
- Developing coordination, balance, agility, and motor skills,
- Building the muscles to support healthy posture,
- Utilising imagination and developing creativity through story telling,
- Increased concentration and problem solving skills,
- Improved sense of self-confidence,
- Learning how to participate in teamwork,
- Developing a sense of musicality and spacial awareness,
- Understanding verbal and non-verbal communication of ideas and feelings.
Creative Movers classes are available as a monthly subscription, costing just £21 per month. The first class is always free, with no obligation to sign up afterwards.
