Life Skills Through Performing Arts Techniques
Our 8 week programs have been designed to fit into a 1 hour per week time frame. This helps to make sure that the children are engaged for the entirety. The hour is jam packed and divided into five modules that are filled with fun games, song, dance and storytelling. There is also a central theme for each term for example, Jungle or Outer Space. This allows the children to explore and develop their understanding and knowledge of different subject matters over the course of the term.
The 5 Cs:
- Communication
- Confidence
- Coordination
- Concentration
- Creativity
Weekly Class Format
Over 8 weeks we will develop the following format. In Week Eight, the children will present a workshop class for parents and friends and they will receive a Certificate of Achievement. The program has been designed to run for the full four terms of the school year with the aim of producing well rounded, confident and creative children.
