The PHILOSOPHY behind GO BANANAS Dancing originated from the elements that Ms. Susannah wants for her own kids when they take a class: Exercise, Learning & Fun! Each GBD class gives kids the oppportunity to exercise from head to toe and get the large muscle activity that is so critical to their development. Not only do kids learn a variety of dances and movement games, but they also get to practice important life skills like listening, following directions and taking turns. Instead of a dance class that is too serious for young children, GBD focuses on fun! Kids have a blast pretending to fly like superheroes, march like dinosaurs, kick like horses at a farm and leap through a magical forest! They truly get to experience the joy of dance!
About the Program
GO BANANAS Dancing classes are a combination of age-appropriate techniques in pre-ballet, yoga and physical fitness. The proper French terminology is used for ballet steps, and dance is also explored through colorful props and storybooks. Set to the music of famous classics and children's favorite bands, fun-filled routines include "Zoo Train" for stretching, "Let's Make Ice Cream!" for learning the arm positions in ballet and "Goodnight Little Bugs" as a yoga cooldown.
About the Classes
All of Ms. Susannah's lesson plans are flexible and tailored to match the skill level of each age group. AGES 2 - 3: A parent/child experience emphasizing dance as an enjoyable way to exercise and concluding with a brief movement storytime. AGES 3 - 5: An opportunity to build strong bodies, activate imaginations and boost self-esteem. Only students (no parents/caregivers) allowed in classroom. AGES 5 - 6: Classical ballet routines with a joyful twist. Elements of creative movement and jazz dancing can be included.
