Hi DTPT Friends!

In today's episode, I talk about one of my favorite activities for young children's classes--guided movement stories!

Not only are they fun, but they help with practicing skills & movement important to the class we are in, guide dancers with imagery, and prepare dancers for the art of performing!

We discuss:

*Creating a scene

*Locomotor and nonlocomotor movement

*Adding emotion

*and more!

This is a wonderful episode to listen to while preparing your pieces for recital.

And if you are looking for more, check out my Patreon where I share monthly guided children's stories for the dance classroom.

I hope you all enjoy today's episode, and don't forget to follow on the platform of your choice so that you're up to date with all the latest episodes.

Make sure to check out ⁠my Patreon Page⁠ where I have monthly resources for dance teachers (both free & paid memberships available) with anything from meditation to journaling to guided stories for the children's classroom.

May has content that celebrates anywhere from May Day to National Tap Dance Day, to preparing students for recital, and more!

A look ahead—instead of individual Summer months of resources, I will be doing a different set-up for my Summer resources, more info on that coming soon!
