Pre ballet class help?

Question

so I just got elected to teach a pre ballet class at my day care. I was in ballet from the age of 2 to 18 so I know the basics. But does anyone have any good ideas on lesson plans or things I could teach? Even a website I can visit to find some ideas!!! HELP!

Answer 1

Make it fun, more like a movement class than ballet. Preschool children are often not ready,physically, for the various positions. Involve small props or bits of costumes. Do a good warm-up. Do things that will help them learn left and right. They are probably ready for point and flex, and a few arm positions, and a loose first position but do not move their feet for them
