Class 1 - Stretching

Before dancing the friends in class 1 remember to do their stretches! We make sure to move all of the different parts of our body to get ourselves ready for an active dance class with movements both big and small. We often engage in dramatic play to make stretching more interesting. Today we pretended to reach up high and pick fruit off of trees while stretching our arms. Then we stretched our legs to create a basket in which we put the fruit! When we finished with this game our bodies were ready to dance!
