2010 Early Childhood Conference "Valuing Care"
Thirty three participants attended from all parts of New Zealand and Asia including one of our own academy members, Nikki Reynolds.
The presentation included seven tracks from Starting on the Right Foot and for each song used, a detailed explanation was given of its developmental benefits.
Content covered the seven elements of dance and music along with the basic fundamental movement skills including stability, locomotor and body awareness, and also covered the basic skills of hopping, galloping and skipping.
The workshop provided delegates with a great insight as to how dance can help with a child’s development to stimulate and energise their brain and giving them a very special start on life’s pathway.
