| Bailemos - Let's Dance! ... a Salsa class with Spanish on the side ... (1 to 3 years old) This class takes place on the following days/times: 1200 Park Avenue: Monday at 10.30am Wednesday at 10.30am Friday at 9.25am 1018 Washington Street, 2nd floor: Tuesday at 10.15am Hudson Athletic Club, 130 Washington Street, 2nd floor: Thursday at 10.30am Can you teach a toddler to cha-cha-cha?? Maybe not a cha-cha-cha that you and I would recognize but, as a parent, you won't be surprised by how naturally and instinctively very young children move to music. "Music truly is our first language." ... Laurie Berkner, musical artist and mom! This class is all about encouraging the innate rhythm and the natural love of music and movement that your child demonstrates whenever they hear music. We will introduce them to music that they might not otherwise get to hear - cha- cha, salsa, mambo, quickstep, argentine tango, jive! The music is the inspiration for the class. It is impossible NOT to dance when you hear great Latin music and we've found some fantastic music!! We will discover the rhythms of latin music with our "huevitos" (egg shakers). Some of our students call this their "cha cha class". Children are great mimics and it is a wonderful sight to see a two year old salsa. Parents and caregivers also pick up some great moves! To continue the Latin flavor, we will be introducing the children to a second language ... Spanish! This is not a Spanish immersion class and is not intended to be. Every class will open with circle time where the children will become familiar with a set of Spanish songs, stories and games. There will be some old favorites but always with a Latin twist! We will introduce the Spanish language by learning colors, numbers, days, animals and phrases in Spanish. We are thrilled to hear from many parents that their child has started counting in Spanish when they climb stairs or in the bathtub. What is wonderful about this is that the children have done it without prompting. There will be parachute time where we will continue to learn Spanish songs and practise our colors in Spanish. We will start to slow things down with story time reading the Spanish versions of children's favorites such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear ("Oso Pardo, Oso Pardo") and singing songs such as "Brilla Brilla Estrellita" (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) and "Adios Amigos" (Goodbye Friends). We end every class singing and dancing to "We Did It! - Lo Hicimos!) from Dora the Explorer. Parent Testimonial: "I’m amazed by how much my 2-year old daughter has learned from Bailemos 1,2,3. I originally signed her up because the class sounded like a change of pace from her usual routine, but I really did not expect her to learn Spanish. After the first class, she demonstrated her new dance moves. And a few classes later, she was able to count in Spanish. We’re both so thrilled with what she’s learned that it’s become incorporated into our daily routine – including salsa dancing before dinner and counting in Spanish when she’s having her hair washed.” ... Parents of a 2 year old joining us for a third semester |
