~ Dancing Hands & Frolicking Voices ~
Two-Year Program Star Dance Farm by Ann Arbor (or Via Zoom)
During this intensive course we will cover all the essentials of bringing developmental movement for the children in the most effective ways. Together we will build a foundation that allows our work with the children to flourish; bringing health, warmth and joy in all that we do. We will cover:
- Loving touch plays
- Finger plays
- Large movement circles and journeys
- Mood of the fifth singing
- Speech
- Therapeutic Werbeck singing
- Therapeutic aspects of movement
- Eurythmy
- Spacial Dynamics®
- Cosmic nutrition
- Hand work
- Anthroposophy as the basis of our work with the children
The over arching idea is to form a supportive educational community that enthusiastically embraces this incarnational work and shares it with their local community. As the course progresses students will have the opportunity to develop their leadership of the developmental movement work through practice in small groups and with the entire circle.
Upon completion, a mentor-ship extension is available for those who wish to train other teachers. See more below.
