Blending academics is a natural progression when young children are involved with movement and dance. Learning is fun when you can see the word "Circle" and circle your arms, or see the shape "Circle" and hop around the circle. Sequencing a combination of movements helps to develop memory and placing your body in various shapes promotes balance and coordination, especially when asked to move from shape to shape as the music changes in tempo and mood. Problem solving and language development are key ingredients in the Kinderdance® programs. A child is asked "How would you slide from corner one, to corner two?" or "What other direction can your body turn?". The possibilities for thinking creatively are endless and the children love the challenge of learning to move their bodies in a variety of ways, both structured and unstructured. Having many senses excited greatly enhances learning because we all learn differently so it is important to teach to all of the senses in a variety of different ways. This eclectic approach to learning allows the children to learn and grow at their own pace.

In conclusion, a developmentally designed movement program will enhance a young child`s ability to learn and grow. The young child`s nervous system will be given an opportunity to properly develop, ensuring that the mind and body are working as one. Our goal is to reach out to as many preschoolers as possible across the US, Canada and the World to prepare our children for the challenges that face them in the new millennium. Also, we want to reach out to all those who would join us and take up this challenge as a lifetime career.
