Dance is the enigmatic emotion.
Post with 15 notes
Need some quick help from my belly dance sisters!!!
So… I have never had anyone younger than 12 in my class…
Today, I have a six year old!!!
What is the best approach to teaching someone so young?

Well, I saw use lots of patience, of course. Is she looks like she needs help, ask her. Have faith in her like any other of your students.!

Ohh. That is tough. Give tons of encouragement. Positive critique. Make it even more fun than normal!

Teach posture, do “follow the leader” with simple moves while walking around in a circle, and let them play with veils. They love veils! :)

My niece is 6, she doesn’t have classes, but watches mine. Loves accessories (wings, veils) and improvisation. Hates long explanations.

Try to explain movements via images. Make some associations up. Think of games or improvisational tasks. Children love that!

I wouldn’t worry too much. I think just being clear with your movements and vocabulary, and it’ll be good!

My teacher actually created a separate class for children, because it’s true - very young dancers need lots of attention and time.
