Melody Bear Ballet
Melody Bear Ballet introduces children to dance and movement using the natural actions of the body such as running, walking, jumping, hopping, skipping, and galloping. It is structured to aid children’s physical development, coordination, spatial awareness, sensory development, creativity, and self-expression, working individually, with a partner, or as a group. Melody Movement also introduces children to other fundamental curriculum learning skills such as counting, colour and shape recognition, vocabulary, and language skills. The strength of the system is that learning is achieved through imaginative movement which is enjoyable and fun.

“My daughter started melody bear ballet when she was 2.5yrs old and soon after joined tip tap toe, pre- school movers as she loved it so much. She’s gained so much confidence, helped making learning right from left and numbers so much more fun. With walking from 10mths she was very turned in and tripped over a lot but dancing has hugely improved this and she’s much more in control of her own body. She’s made so many new friends including Melody Bear and loves all her teachers. I was very proud seeing her progression in her last graduation class but she’s very excited about moving up as she’s now an even bigger girl.” Emma Nagashima
