Children's dance helps to develop the child's imagination, his ability to improvise. Musical and rhythmic education is an important part of the process of forming a harmonious personality, it makes children open-minded and sociable. To stage a dance for preschoolers, it is necessary to take into account the age and psychological characteristics of young artists.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step to staging a children's dance is teaching the children rhythm. Pick up simple alternating movements in combination with famous lines of children's poems, for example, K. Chukovsky, A. Barto, S. Mikhalkov. This musical rhythm will allow the child to feel the strong beat, stop during the pause and understand when the musical study ends.
Step 2
When the set of dance moves has been worked out, proceed to the selection of the dance theme and musical accompaniment. Before the first rehearsal, have a game activity in which ask the little artists to talk about what they imagine after listening to the music. You can also invite children to fantasize and come up with rhythmic movements showing living or inanimate objects (for example, a tree, a bunny, a chanterelle, etc.)
Step 3
The performance of a children's dance, in contrast to an adult, must always start from the beginning - the first musical episode. Children should be able to imagine exactly how the movements follow each other.
Step 4
Any dance piece must be compositionally built. Children's dance differs from an adult in that it should not contain a pronounced climax with complex movements. Therefore, pay attention to the exit of the artists and the ending of the dance. If the children begin to make mistakes at the beginning of the dance, then, most likely, they will no longer be able to "get together" and complete the number to the end. The finale is important because little artists get tired by the end of the dance and begin to get confused in their movements. Therefore, do not put on a dance that is too long - this is beyond the power of preschool children.
Step 5
An important part of the dance performance is the selection of costumes. Design sketches for the theme of the dance. Children love to dress up. Use this feature of theirs to practice the number. If you rehearse in costumes, the guys will dance more willingly. They must "see" their character. Don't make the costumes tight or tight. If during the performance of the number any part falls off, the child will stop dancing in order to pick it up or straighten it. Sometimes one piece of clothing or accessory is enough to express the image (for example, a ribbon, a hat with hare ears, a mushroom cap, etc.).
