Learning Through Dance

You waited for him to take his first step. You documented, celebrated and posted on Facebook when the big event occurred. Now he is 2, and can't be stopped! He isn't just walking, he's running, jumping (or trying to), kicking, and is generally busy finding every possible way his body will move.
Activities like the Keel Row dance are tailor made for your little mover. Dancing provides opportunities to try out the new moves and gain confidence with them, while also hearing a steady beat, helping him be aware of his body and the bodies of others around him, and is a great time to socially and emotionally engage with friends and parents.
So warm up that CD player at home and encourage your toddler to try out his jumping feet --- can't wait to see what the next class will bring!

Learning Through Rhythm

Right from the start, your baby's brain is wired to scan her world for patterns. Even in utero, babies can distinguish and respond to different phonemes (vowel and consonant sounds) and can tell the difference between one language and another!
Rhythmic activity provides recognizable, predictable and patterned info for your baby to process, as we do in activities like 1,2, Tie My Shoe and Boom-pa-pa.

Steady beat activities also stimulate the frontal lobe of the brain, which is responsible for language development., and helps in sports activities, like learning to bounce a ball. And who would guess that steady beat experiences would aid in cutting with scissors!

So stick in the Do-si-Do CD, and keep up that drumming, rhyming and dancing at home!
