Dance and play program for children 4-7 years old


Setting goals correctly

You need to decide in advance why exactly you are sending your child to dance. On the one hand, you can limit yourself to general physical and aesthetic development, and on the other hand, you can aim for serious achievements in the form of victories at city, regional and even international competitions. A child’s passion for dancing may well develop into a full-fledged professional career; the main thing is not to discourage the child from doing what he loves. In this regard, it is important to choose a competent trainer; not only the quality of training, but also the correct motivation depends on him. A good teacher knows exactly not only how to get the best results from students, but also how to interest them. In addition, after a trial lesson, he will be able to draw conclusions about the child’s potential in the chosen dance direction.

Which dance direction should I choose?

The choice of dance direction and school depends on the age and character of the child. This can be classical ballroom dancing or various genres of modern choreography. Unlike classics, modern choreography does not require a partner, complex regulations and costumes, which is why modern, hip-hop, R'n'B, breakdancing, jazz-funk and modern jazz, street jazz and others are so popular directions.

Already at the age of 5, it becomes clear what kind of temperament a child has, what kind of music he likes, how well he adapts and interacts in a team. It is necessary to choose a dance direction taking into account the wishes of the child, since the ideas of generations about beauty are very different. In the end, you can always try different styles of dancing, and only then make a choice.

Explanatory note

The content of this program includes musical and psychological training for children 4-5 years old, developing will, attention, mobility and flexibility, also aimed at developing musical abilities, creative imagination, fantasy, the ability to improvise in movement to music, which requires free and conscious control of the body. Moving from simple to complex, from children's songs to symphonic works, the child gradually becomes familiar with the world of beauty, passing through music, the complex world of feelings and images, while playing at the physical, visual and emotional levels with the specific language of musical expressiveness.

The variety of compositions in terms of direction, complexity and intensity of movements allows them to be used in any form of organizing work with children, from morning exercises to holiday matinees. The repertoire used within the program is musically expressive, exciting, awakens fantasy and imagination, develops the expressive capabilities of the body and at the same time is accessible for performance.

The most important indicator of the success of musical and rhythmic education of a child aged 4-5 years is interest in the very process of movement to music, expressiveness of movements and the ability to convey the character of music and a playful image in plasticity. With insufficient coordination, dexterity and precision of movements (which at this age corresponds to the norm), the expressiveness of children's plasticity reveals creative talent and musicality.

Monitoring children's development

The main method of pedagogical diagnostics is systematic observation of children’s manifestations in musical and rhythmic activities, assessment of their performance of various game tasks. During the observation, the teacher evaluates the children’s manifestations, comparing them with each other, focusing on the best indicators identified for a given age (in a given group).

Card for diagnosing the level of musical and psychomotor development of a child

Child's name Diagnostic time frame
options Beginning of the year Mid year The end of the year
Interest and need for musical movement
The ability to reflect character in movement and use basic means of expression)
Emotionality (expressiveness of performance)
Creativity (ability to improvise in movement to music, originality, variety of movements used)
Development of motor skills (Availability of various types of movements in accordance with the program and content)
Mobility (lability) of nervous processes (the ability to switch from one movement to another in accordance with music, change the direction of movement, rearrange)
Formation of correct posture
Formation of spatial orientation skills

Assessment of children 4-5 years of age

High level – the ability to convey the character of the melody, independently start moving along with the music, change the movement for each part of the music

Intermediate level - the movements express the general character of the music; the tempo, beginning and end of the movement to musical accompaniment do not always coincide.

Low level - the movement does not reflect the nature of the music and does not coincide with the tempo of the rhythm, as well as with the beginning and end of the piece

Emotionality – expressiveness of facial expressions and pantomimes, the ability to convey in facial expressions, posture, and gestures a diverse range of feelings, based on the music and the content of the composition (fear, joy, horror, surprise, delight, anxiety).

Emotional children often sing along while moving, say something, and wait for the teacher’s assessment after the movement. In unemotional children, facial expressions are poor, movements are inexpressive, assessed by external manifestations “+”, “- “

Creativity is the ability to improvise to familiar and unfamiliar music based on movements mastered in classes, as well as to come up with your own, original steps. The assessment is specified depending on the age and level of training of the child. Creative talent is manifested in special expressiveness, non-standard plastic means and the child’s enthusiasm for the very process of moving to music. The degree of expressiveness and originality is also assessed by the teacher during the observation process: “+”, “-“.

Development of motor skills - mastering various types of movements in accordance with the program content: basic movements (walking, running, jumping movements), general developmental (for various muscle groups), imitation (figurative play), dancing, dancing, gymnastics with and without objects . The quality and confidence of performing various movements, the variety and volume of movements performed are assessed.

Mobility (lability) of nervous processes is manifested in the speed of motor reaction to changes in music. The norm, the standard, is the compliance of the execution of exercises with the music, the ability to subordinate movements to tempo, rhythm, dynamics, etc. And in case of pronounced difficulties “- “.

The formation of correct posture is assessed on the basis of observations and medical data - the norm is “+”, the problem is “-“.

The formation of spatial orientation skills is assessed on the basis of observations of the execution of various formations in accordance with age capabilities, the ability to perform movements in the desired direction (right-left, forward-back), and the ability to perform movements with the right and left hand (leg).

As a result of the diagnosis, the teacher can calculate the average total score for a general comparison in the child’s development over a certain period of time, and build a diagram or graph of development indicators. Pedagogical diagnosis is essentially a subjective assessment. Therefore, it is not the number of points that is important, but the severity of the dynamics of development.

We are waiting for the result

You should not listen to teachers who promise to make your child almost a star in just a few lessons. Even the most powerful creative potential is limited by physiology, so progress will be gradual. As a result of regular training in the dance section, the child will learn to control his body, develop a muscular corset, and become resistant to physical activity. In addition, in dance, children will learn to throw out energy and emotions, to realize themselves.

Other important skills that develop gradually include persistence and determination. Almost all children go through an adaptation stage, when the novelty of sensations disappears and interest in activities disappears. It is important to overcome this stage, since the child must understand that results in any endeavor can only be achieved through hard work.
