WHO IS MELODY BEAR
Melody Bear is the loveable teddy at the heart of the Melody Movement Early Learning dance syllabus for 12 months and up. Melody Bear’s music, picture cards and stories integrate to create Melody Bear’s magical world of music, movement and dance!
Melody Movement introduces children to movement & dance using the natural actions of the body such as running, walking, jumping, hopping, skipping and galloping. Classes focus on fundamental curriculum learning skills such as counting, colour and shape recognition, vocabulary and language skills.
Melody Movement’s actions songs, stories and unique picture cards lead girls and boys through a journey of imaginative dance and play. She is full of surprises and her favourite dances include a magical flight on a swan, swirling autumn leaves, birthday ballerinas, apple picking, mermaids, make a shape, the story of Cinderella, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, to name a few.
Melody movement instils a love of movement and dance, making it a positive element of children’s early lives which stays with them. They learn from a young age how music, movement, dance and the imagination can be combined to tell a story and convey emotions.
The strength of the program is that learning is achieved through creative movement which is enjoyable and fun, making it the ideal entry into the world of movement and dance.
