Dance with a Difference - We make All the Difference
Dance with A Difference™ is for all children, mainstream and special needs.
‘Dance with A Difference makes learning so much fun,
It’s so easy - you will be amazed at the results!’
An exciting opportunity to run your own business – offering music,
movement and mime classes for preschool and primary aged children,
mainstream and special needs, ages 3 years to 7 years.
(Older special needs children have benefitted tremendously from
Dance with A Difference.)
Dance with A Difference conforms to and compliments
OFSTED and The Early Years Foundation Stage
and Key Stage 1 requirements.
For many years, Dance with A Difference™ has studied the requirements of children’s development in early year settings, and Special needs requirements, and has evolved over a period of 12 years. During those years, Dance with A Difference™ has been in close consultation with nursery, pre-school, play school teachers and OFSTED inspectors, and designed programmes with original music which all conform and compliment the government and Early Years Foundation Stage and key stage 1 requirements, and is now ready to be made available to the general public to teach in Early Years Providers Settings under license.
These programmes are aimed at pre-school and primary school children, mainstream and special needs; and have been trialled at various Pre-School locations and Dance schools with very positive comments. (See our testimonials.)
The programmes have been devised in such a way that, whilst children are enjoying, through play, the Music, Movement and Mime aspects of the programmes, they are, without realising it, learning the skills that re-enforce and compliment the EYFS requirements and Key stage 1.
I believe any child can dance and express their feelings to music. It's one of the ways they develop coordination, strength and balance. It reinforces the fact that the mind and body are not separate. The mind develops through the physical movement and the body develops through the mental desire to move.
Among doctors, dance therapy is drawing increased interest, especially for children with learning difficulties.
Dance with A Difference™ is suitable for any child as it improves both physical and mental well-being, releasing endorphins which are the body's natural 'feel good' chemicals, helping maintain physical fitness as well as helping to prevent and combat obesity and diseases, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes in later life.
