Choreography. What is choreography? This is an important element in the development of a child. Children's dancing is the harmonious development of your child.
In dance. Moreover, it can manifest itself as a simple composition, in the form of the creation of an artistic image, shown without the help of speech. It turns out that a person’s feelings, thoughts, and experiences are conveyed through movements and facial expressions.
In modern dance there are three directions, including folk, classical and modern look. The first and second types are basic, therefore they have a more expressive range of movements. The third option consists of all dance styles that appeared after classical ballet.
Dancing is good for children. After all, such a hobby helps to develop good stretching, gain plasticity and flexibility. In addition, it contributes to the development of creativity, as well as artistic taste.
Dance classes
Choreography for children is, first of all, about gaining confidence at a young age. In the process, the child realizes himself as an individual, directing his energy to self-development.
Lesson plan
The first priority is familiarity with classical movements, so children's choreography includes the following basics:
1. Position of arms and legs.
2. Individual movements.
3. Formation of posture.
4. Outdoor games including dance sketches.
After this material is mastered, the dance becomes more complex, and then new compositions are added.
Choreography for children is always accompanied by various pieces of classical and folk music, as well as children's songs and modern rhythms.
The meaning of dance
What is choreography in essence? For children, this is a game during which they learn to move to the music and master the basics of dance. Such activities help to develop physically and psychologically. Each parent decides for himself which direction to choose for his child, but it always looks better compared to others.
Classic for children
The ballet choreography program is very serious. After all, this is not just a dance - a way of life. All feelings and emotions require maximum dedication, work, and time. Although all efforts are not in vain, because ballet is at the top of the cultural hierarchy and requires special treatment.
This art combines beauty, as well as the perfection of form associated with depth. inner world. It is possible to learn multiple movements, but growing as a person, feeling the music, movements, and creating an image in dance is the most difficult thing. Not everyone knows how to perceive a melody deeply, with full responsibility, but only a few. Therefore, it is important to teach your child this quality.
What can you get from ballet?
1. Children who practice ballet from their youth do not have problems with the spine. This is because the posture immediately straightens and existing curvatures are corrected.
2. Learning to dance develops personal qualities in a child - psychological stability, perseverance, and determination.
3. Children's choreography helps to develop such a quality as the ability to achieve results in everything. Perhaps in the future this type of activity will not be professional, but people associated with it always stand out among others with their expressiveness.
Dancing school
A good choreography school where they teach ballet art is not available in every city. Such an institution usually employs real professionals. It is these teachers who teach children the basics of dance, instilling in them respect for the classical art. Subsequently, people emerge from the ballet school who are examples of physical and spiritual perfection, arousing admiration among many. That is why the idea of doing this type of activity from childhood is very entertaining.
The child does not yet understand what choreography is, so knowledge is given gradually. The lesson program is usually created for each age separately. The youngest, from 4 to 6 years old, learn to stand and walk correctly while dancing. During the lesson, they learn dance steps, jumps, hand positions, body positioning, and develop
The choreography program for older children - from 6 to 10 years old - teaches concentration and techniques for performing movements at the barre. Therefore, the program usually includes repetition of existing knowledge and the inclusion of new elements, staging various sketches.
Grown-up children, starting from 10 years old, already decide for themselves whether to remain in this type of activity or not. This is because further classes are held at professional level with further realization of oneself as a ballet dancer. Of course, by this age a child should already have the necessary qualities, such as flexibility, correct steps and jumps.
What can other children do? The solution to this problem is simple - they perform well in any other type of dance. After all, what is choreography in ballet? This knowledge base is the basis of any other dance direction. Therefore, children from a young age acquire a huge amount of knowledge that helps them realize themselves in the future.
Of course, you need to prepare yourself for the long road that will have to be covered before the real big performance. That is why you will need qualities such as perseverance, hard work, patience, and determination. After all, those who know how to wait and work on themselves will one day achieve great success, which means that the young artist will definitely have a great future in the future.
