Fei Fei & Co. Pre-School Dance Program

The kinesthetic movement of rhythmic dances helps teach basic academic skills in math and language. Here are a few benefits.
Math
1. Practice and learn sequencing patterns that dances are made up of, such as: ABA, AB, ABC.
2. Learn what a set of 4 is, and about multiple sets of 4, 8 and 16 counts. By consistently moving in sets of different quantities and adding and subtracting sets of dancers or movements in a dance, addition, multiplication, subtraction and division concepts are being used.
Language
3. Learn about stressed and unstressed syllables in language by hearing, feeling and clapping the accented and unaccented beat of the rhythm with hands, tambourines or drums.
4. Learn forward, backward and side to side movement - to transfer to reading and writing: left to right across, and top down to foot of page.
General
5. Practice clockwise and counter-clockwise directions - for telling time.
6. Identify right side and left side of body for moving in those directions.
7. Learn up and down and left side to right side for north, south, east and west in map reading.
8. Develop memory through remembering the order of steps and sequences.
9. Learn to use arms in opposition to legs for right-left brain development.
10. Learn patience with self and cooperation with others in a group.
11. Finish what is begun: the steps, the sequence, completing the whole.
And, very importantly, find that learning can be fun while moving enthusiastically!

Ballet class was so active and structured that it was the perfect outlet for her to ‘fit in’ and thrive. For children who do not do well academically, ballet gives the gift of being able to excel in another mode - good for developing self esteem!
