September 2009 Free Activity - Water Ballet

The September activity also comes from Dance Room Level 2 lower primary edition, the second book in our New Dance Program by Barbara Snook

Dance Room 2 has now been released and there is still a special offer going with discounts off our Music Room and Dance Room 1 titles.

WATER BALLET

This activity certainly does introduce a differnt Dynamic! Water Ballet!

There is a warmup and a stretching exercise that leads into a water ballet you can do with your class without getting wet. We even help you with some of the splashing sounds to get your class into the mood. This can be quite a calming exercise as the music - and the challenge to be aware of the whole group's movements - can bring about that quiet "Different Dynamic"

When you have done this exercise, send us a video - we'd love to publish it here so that everyone can see how well your class has performed their Water Ballet.

You will find the activity here.

Try it out, and then order a perousal copy of the book!

Dance Room Update

I know that some teachers are hanging out for Dance Room level 2 (lower primary) – and, yes, the release is behind schedule. But the news is good. I’ve just emerged from the recording studio with the finished masters and the videoing was completed last weekend (there is a DVD with this level).

The book is due back from the printer any day and the whole shebang will hopefully be packaged up this week! It has taken a little longer to put the finishing touches in place, but the wait will be well worth it: there are 40, full-colour, easy-to-use lesson plans for lower primary + 4 audio CDs of great music and guided examples etc … plus a DVD with 16 examples of dances, movements, actions and even some Auslan signing.

The package is beautifully presented and exquisitely illustrated by our artist, Bradfield Dumpleton, and Barbara Snook’s clear instructions make it easy to deliver a Dance program for any teacher.

I guess it’s obvious we’re pretty proud of it and we look forward to your thoughts.

Check out the activity from Dance Room Level 2 posted last week in this blog. We will notify you the moment the package is ready (there will also be some great deals).
