Over the past several weeks, I have noticed immense changes in my students. Not only are the dancers stronger, dexterous, and becoming more and more innovative but they are communicating with emotion and consideration for the art and for each other.
I had to stop a particular parent at the Bright Horizons at Alston & Bird location to tell dote on the vast improvements her daughter has made in my class. This could not wait for progress report time! Her child had never spoken directly to me in the full year I had been teaching. This summer, she is now able to mentally associate her body with space, understand the cause and affect of her actions, and differentiate "right" from "wrong" rules.
Social competence not only involves the ability to cooperate with peers; it also includes such things as the ability to show empathy, express feelings, and share with one another. Kinderdancers are taught basic etiquette which helps develop a nurturing environment for all students.
Kinderdance is truly incredible, and I am so proud of my dancers!
