This January, the Australian Ballet Education and Outreach team are coming to selected YPRL venues to showcase their fun and creative dance workshops.
Dancing Story (3-5 years) is an exciting, playful experience and encourages little ones to make friends and learn new skills in a happy and supportive environment. Through lively ballet stories, children will broaden their scope of imaginative play, movement skill development, working with others, sequencing and literacy. Children will also have the special opportunity to see The Australian Ballet costumes and props throughout the series.
STEAMDANCE (5-12 years) uses a dance-education approach to learning about STEAM subjects, science, technology, engineering, arts and maths. Students are inspired to wonder how you might use movement as a fraction, choreography to create patterns or what the angle of an arabesque is or how you might balance weight when you lift a partner.
Both workshops are designed to be accessible to all children regardless of learning styles or physical abilities. No previous dance experience is required.
Attendance is free but bookings are essential.
