Kreativer Kindertanz (6-9  J.)

Kreativer Kindertanz für 6 -9 Jährige Even for "older“ Kids the joy of motion, the natural impulse to move are at the centre of attention. Kids follow their natural impulse to move, supported by their natural motion. Forms like running, jumping, spinning, sneaking, walking, crawling, rolling will be taken and varied creativitely. Exercises from the area of contemporary dance, like the perception of body and motion, coordination and flexibility will be transformed to inner images in a playlike manner. Material, simple musical instruments and music of a wide variety - from Bach to African folk-songs inspire different qualities of movement, new things will be tried in a play like manner. Games of dance and movement lead us through wild and animate sequences to quiet, focused action and to relaxing moments, giving us time to quiet down and focus on the perception of the own body. In all those processes we are accompanied by imaginative power, inner images and fantasy. We will work on little choreographies, whereas the kids will learn the sequences by their natural imitation-ability and by repetition. Thereby the feeling for rhythm, body and motion is experienced. Elemts from Contact Imrovisation will complete our possibilities and thus the variety of movement is expanded. In this variety the children can express their own personality and individuality by dancing.
