Syllabus

Creative Dance for Early Years

The perfect starting place

Three Creative Dance grades to kick off a journey through dance, suitable for all from 3 age and over:

1Creative Movers
2Pre-Primary
3Primary

Celebrating movement at the earliest stage

Each class takes children on an imaginative and playful journey through dance with endless themes. An energetic warm up is followed by physical and spatial skill development, with a deep dive into their imaginations to close.  

Across three grades, children are supported to develop physical skills, improve communication, harness musicality, foster creativity and grow in confidence.

An inclusive offering

This syllabus provides teachers with a fully accessible creative framework that facilitates the growth and development of all children.

Artists Caroline Bowditch (pictured here) and Maiya Leeke made substantial contributions to the content, providing their expertise on accessibility in dance education.

 

The tools to succeed

About the content

This syllabus offers teachers and practitioners a structured, skills-based framework that eliminates the need for repetitive exercises each week. Children are engaged and inspired from session to session through endless themes.

Whether swimming with whales, flying to the moon, or travelling the desert, each session explores movement in a new and exciting way.

All teachers receive bespoke Rambert Grades cards, which serve as lesson plans and prompts, allowing for on-the-spot improvisation as needed.
