The best thing about our videos is that the music used is kid friendly and sourced from original musicians, we don’t do branded content like frozen or avengers so you don’t have to worry about your kinder kid asking you to buy the latest toys and the content has been created by qualified primary school teacher who also has a diploma in dance!

So let’s get onto the list!


1. BUTTERFLY BALLET

This creative movement ballet lesson for kindergarten kids takes them through the special journey that is the life of a butterfly.

After a 2-minute warm-up, we pop out of our eggs and move like caterpillars.

Next, we wiggle and twist as we create our chrysalis, and lastly, we emerge as beautiful flying butterflies.

We then play a game to consolidate the learning from the lesson and finish with a cool-down which helps to teach children the importance of doing one before moving on with their day.

No need for any equipment, just grab your imagination as we wiggle, twist, and fly into amazing butterflies!

For each of our videos we also try to create resources such as activities and lesson plans for you to use and follow.

Your kindergarten kid is going to love being a sea turtle with me as well as crawling like a crab and rolling our bodies in forward motions and jumping out of the ocean just like dolphins.

This creative dance tutorial is great for active preschoolers and good for school-aged kids to make connections to learning about sea animals by having fun as they learn to move and dance!

3. TRANSPORT-THEMED CREATIVE DANCE LESSON

Come along for the ride as we drive trucks and bounce to the beat of the music. We also spin and twirl like helicopters in the sky, and sway and swing like boats on the ocean.

My kids Sydney and Xavier helped me film this video and I am grateful for the extra movement ideas that they contribute especially their break dance-like moves during the helicopter portion of the video.

I really hope it inspires more movement ideas and choices in your kids too!

4. LEARNING SHAPES MOVEMENT AND DANCE TUTORIAL

Starting with a warm-up, we then go through a fun dance tutorial exploring creative movement that teaches shape awareness for rectangles, ovals, and hexagons.

We brainstorm where we see these shapes in nature and then move our bodies like some of those objects with carefully selected music that ignites the imagination.

This Fitness and Creative Dance Lesson for kids, toddlers, and preschoolers teach shape awareness through movement.

As learning about shapes is part of the mathematics curriculum it is a great way to combine math learning with movement!

This is a fun and easy tap dance lesson for preschoolers and kids and the best thing is you can choose to dance in your shoes or tap shoes if you have them.
