We are proud license holders to use the Lucy Sparkles & Friends curriculum. Please see below for a description of what to expect in our music, dance and drama classes.

CURRICULUM

DANCE

Our creative dance classes develop self-expression and creativity while increasing body awareness and fitness. The sessions are themed according to popular preschool topics and follow the Early Years Learning Framework.

Each 30-minute lesson includes a warm up, with stretching, locomotor movement and exercises to improve finger dexterity; a choreographed dance; an action song; work with props; and a warm down.

We believe that children deserve the best. So all of the music we use is of the highest quality, carefully selected to suit the theme and mood of each dance. If you’re looking for dance classes that will engage the bodies and imaginations of your children, then Lucy Sparkles & Friends is for you!

All of our dance teachers are trained dancers and performers with a passion for working with children in their early years.

MUSIC

Lucy Sparkles & Friends music classes employ both Kodály and Dalcroze principles. Whilst no two lessons are the same, we apply the same fun, thoughtful and tested structure to each weekly session in order to establish a comfortable and friendly environment for children. We help them to develop their musical, physical, emotional and intellectual skills through live guitar, ukulele or keyboard, a capella singing games, action songs, rhymes, parachute play, listening and moving to live and recorded music and by playing along on percussion instruments.

All of our music teachers are trained musicians who play real instruments and have a passion for working with children in their early years.

DRAMA

Lucy Sparkles & Friends Drama is the most challenging of the three classes that we offer.  Each week we take your children on a magical journey to an imaginary place, called Storyland, where they explore stories and themes through child-led activities, whole-body movement, imaginative play, poetry, song, masks and storytelling.  And… if they’re lucky, they might even get some magic sparkles at the end!

All of our drama teachers are trained actors and performers with a passion for working with children in their early years.

UKULELE AND MUSICIANSHIP

Our Ukulele and Musicianship classes  employ both Kodály and Dalcroze principles.  Your child will learn how to play the ukulele and develop a solid foundation in musicianship and singing through fun songs, games, movement and rhymes.

These 45-60 minute lessons are for children aged 4.5 – 8 years old.
