Movement to Music

Moving to music is a great way to stay active, have fun and be silly! Learning how to move to the beat or in a different way when the music changes are a great way to be creative and imaginative while developing skills that will last a lifetime. Movement to music is an intentional phrase, rather than ‘dance’. Everyone can move to music, and by incorporating animal movements or other movements you are familiar with you are sure to have a great time and your child will love to see you move. Once you are comfortable, layer on some different elements such as clapping, or put a sequence of movements together.
