PLAYFUL MOVEMENT, MUSIC AND GAMES FOR 6-7 YEAR OLDS

Focusing on fun rather than formal exercise routines, these classes are the ultimate way to introduce fundamental movement skills. During the 30, 45 or 55-minute classes children move and sing their way through the simple choreography. The moves train body awareness, as well as improve balance, coordination and control. The classes are set to music children love and, as children of this age are primarily visual learners, the highly-trained teacher demonstrates moves that they can easily copy. They leave feeling successful and empowered.

WHY 6-7 YEAR OLDS LOVE BORN TO MOVE

  • IT'S FUN

    There's no chance of boredom in this class – it’s action packed! Whether it’s learning new moves, mastering a game or singing along to hit tracks, fun comes first. Children won't even realize all that they are learning – they'll be too busy playing, laughing and making new friends in a safe and happy setting.

  • IT'S EMPOWERING

    With simple and easy-to-follow choreography, children can master moves quickly. Their confidence grows as they develop new abilities.

  • IT HAS GREAT MUSIC

    We’ve asked around. We know what children this age like. And that’s exactly what they’ll get. Children are inspired to sing along which helps them learn the choreography.

  • IT LETS THEM SHINE

    Children are at their best when they feel they belong. BORN TO MOVE classes are not about right or wrong, but about participation and fun. Teachers will make individual connections with each child so they know they are important – like they are the star!

WHY PARENTS OF 6-7 YEAR OLDS LOVE BORN TO MOVE

  • IT MOVES BODIES AND MINDS

    Children of this age learn by observation, so easy-to-copy moves from six movement categories are used to teach a variety of motor skills. They also learn how to follow directions and cooperate with others. The classes are regularly updated with new music and choreography – so children never get bored and are always learning something new.

  • HIGHLY-TRAINED TEACHERS

    BORN TO MOVE teachers undergo an extensive training, assessment and certification process. They are trained in child development, a child-centered teaching model, and how to keep children stimulated and engaged with compassion and kindness. Teachers regularly receive new fresh music and choreography. This new class content is always extensively tested by our harshest critics – kids themselves – to be sure it’s fun and safe.

  • STRUCTURE

    BORN TO MOVE provides structured play your child will love. There are objectives and learning outcomes for each class, but your child will be having too much fun to notice that they are learning – it’s also a great way for you to have some guilt-free 'me time'!
