In dance. Moreover, it can manifest itself as a simple composition, in the form of creating an artistic image, shown without the help of speech. It turns out that feelings, thoughts, experiences of a person are transmitted through movements, facial expressions.
In modern dance there are three directions, including folk, classical and modern look. The first and second types are the main ones, therefore they have a more expressive range of movements. The third option consists of all dance styles that have appeared after classical ballet.
Children benefit from dancing. After all, such a hobby helps to develop good stretch, to gain plasticity and flexibility. In addition, it contributes to the development of creativity, as well as artistic taste.
Dance lessons
Choreography for children is, first of all, the acquisition of confidence at a young age. In the process, the child realizes himself as a person, directing his energy to self-development.
Lesson plan
The primary point is to get acquainted with the classical movements, so children's choreography includes the following basics:
1. The position of the arms and legs.
2. Separate movements.
3. Posture formation.
4. Outdoor games with the inclusion of dance sketches.
After this material is assimilated, the dance becomes more difficult, and then new compositions are added.
Choreography for children is always accompanied by various musical pieces of classical and folk music, as well as children's songs, modern rhythms.
The meaning of the dance
What is choreography at its core? For children, this is a game during which they learn to move to the music and master the basics of dance. Such activities help to develop physically and psychologically. Which direction to choose for their child - each parent decides for himself, but against the background of others, it always looks more advantageous.
Classics for children
The choreography program in ballet is very serious. After all, this is not just a dance - a way of life. All feelings, emotions require maximum dedication, work, time. Although all efforts are not in vain, because ballet is at the top of the cultural hierarchy and requires special treatment.
This art combines beauty as well as the perfection of form associated with depth. inner world. It is possible to learn multiple movements, but growing as a person, feeling the music, movements, creating an image in dance is the most difficult thing. Deeply, with all responsibility, not everyone can perceive the melody, but only a few. Therefore, it is important to teach your child this quality.
What can you get from ballet?
1. Children involved in ballet from youth do not have problems with the spine. This is because the posture immediately straightens, and the existing curvatures are corrected.
2. Learning to dance brings up personal qualities in a child - this is psychological stability, perseverance, purposefulness.
3. Children's choreography helps to develop such a quality as the ability to achieve results in everything. Perhaps in the future this type of activity will not be professional, but people related to it always stand out among others with their expressiveness.
Dancing school
A good school of choreography, where they teach ballet art, is not in every city. Real professionals usually work in such an institution. It is these teachers who teach children the basics of dance, instilling in them respect for classical art. Subsequently, people who are a model of physical and spiritual perfection come out of the ballet school, causing admiration in many. That is why the idea of doing this kind of activity from childhood is very entertaining.
The child does not yet understand what choreography is, so knowledge is given gradually. The curriculum is usually created for each age separately. The smallest from 4 to 6 years old learn to stand and walk correctly while dancing. During the lesson, they study dance steps, jumps, hand positions, body positioning, develop
The choreography program for older children - from 6 to 10 years old - teaches concentration of attention, methods of performing movements at the barre. Therefore, the program usually includes repetitions of existing knowledge and the inclusion of new elements, staging various studies.
Grown up children, starting from the age of 10, already decide for themselves whether to stay in this type of activity or not. All because further classes are held on professional level with the further realization of oneself as a ballet dancer. Of course, a child by this age should already have the necessary qualities, such as flexibility, correct steps, jumps.
What is left for other children to do? The solution to this problem is simple - they perfectly realize themselves in any other direction of dance. After all, what is choreography in ballet? This knowledge base is the basis of any other dance direction. Therefore, children from a young age acquire a huge store of knowledge that helps them to realize themselves in the future.
Of course, you need to tune in for a long way to a real big performance. That is why you will need such qualities as perseverance, diligence, patience, determination. After all, the one who knows how to wait and work on himself, one day achieves great success, which means that the young artist will definitely have a great future in the future.

« Psychological approach and features of the construction of a lesson in choreography
With children 3-5 years old
Kameneva Ya. A.
/ choreography teacher of DDT Petrogradsky district
Exemplary dance ensemble of the same age/
2013
The age of 3-5 years is rightly called the average preschool. Instability of mood, emotional vulnerability, concreteness and imagery of thinking, passion for the game and game situations bring these children closer to younger preschoolers, many cognitive abilities and personality traits of the child are already taking shape. Imitation continues to play an important role in the perception of children in preschool childhood, especially when mastering a new movement, operation, and action. They perceive images of real objects and materialized actions more easily than words.
Like children aged one to three years, middle-aged preschoolers are egocentric: they do not yet understand that other people may have their own ideas about something different from theirs, that in general there may be different points of view on one and the same the same subject. As a rule, at this age, children do not know how to look at an object from the perspective of another person.
Middle-aged preschoolers are not able to keep track of how an object changes and how it goes into a different state. They perfectly fix in memory only stable situations, initial and final states, but the process of transformation itself eludes them.
At this age, the child learns the language of feelings - the forms of expression of the finest shades of experiences accepted in society with the help of glances, smiles, gestures, postures, movements, voice intonations, etc. Children are still spontaneous and impulsive. The emotions that they experience are easily read on the face, in the posture, gesture, in all behavior. For the teacher, the behavior of the child, the expression of his feelings - important indicator in understanding the inner world of a small person, indicating his mental state and possible development prospects. The emotional background in the lesson can be positive or negative. For example, a child’s complaint to a teacher is a manifestation, in a peculiar form, of his desire to communicate with him, an acute desire to tell about himself, most often about some of his difficulties and hardships, primarily in the sphere of relations with other people. Complaining to an adult, the child seeks sympathy, empathy and help from him. It is simply impossible to leave all this without attention. In some cases, it is enough to caress the child so that he stops whining, complaining of non-existent pains, in order to evade certain exercises or parts of the lesson. In others, his need for a positive assessment, in a respectful attitude towards himself, should be satisfied. Thirdly, to help organize interaction with peers, having previously explained patterns of behavior and thereby eliminating the tendency to snitch. In all cases, the participation of the teacher will help the child to master the norms of relationships with other people. But since the content of the children's complaints is different, the teacher's attitude towards them should also vary in accordance with their character.
A big role in shaping the relationship of children with each other can be played by the game, which for a small child is not only a school of knowledge of the surrounding world of adults, but also a school of human relations. IN preschool age The game is one of the main forms of organizing children's life, during which children somehow influence each other, acquire life habits for themselves. Game activity influences the formation of all mental processes: arbitrariness, imagination, figurative thinking, etc. It is this activity that is leading in preschool age and determines the further path of the child's mental development.
Based on the knowledge of the psychology of children aged 3-5 years, the teacher-choreographer must be able to correctly build a lesson plan for choreography, rhythmoplasty. Thus, when studying drawing in a dance class, acquiring dance skills, musical perception, rhythmic features and interacting with other students in a group, you need to use the game as the main feature of this age in order to achieve the goals in each individual group.
In my lessons for kids, I try to find a connection between separate outdoor games and images with movements, exercises and dance tasks in order to get from the children being taught desired results. Each part of the practical lesson needs to be commented on or named in words understandable to children (images, objects, characters), and often the children themselves suggest one or another definition of their actions in rhythmoplasty (early choreography) class.
A music and dance lesson for kids in a playful way lasts only 30-50 minutes. At the lesson, children learn to express emotions through movement, develop imaginative thinking and fantasy, a sense of rhythm and musicality, concentration, and memory. But it also happens that the general emotional mood of the children is not reflected as desired by the teacher, the children begin to get distracted and the attention of the group literally dissipates before their eyes. With a certain experience, individual subjects that are in the dance class or prepared for such a case by a teacher can become a way out. Or it can become a piece of clothing (for example, a sock taken off during a lesson on a rug or a ballet flat - under the pretext of a stuffy room) and performing all the usual exercises using this item, which again involves children in the game and focuses attention as something new.
In addition to games and exercises, there is work activity, which is still more often joint with a teacher, who act not only as a person organizing and guiding children, but also as a direct participant in the process, disciplining those involved in the dance class. For example, in a dance-game form, collect items after the end of the lesson. The participation of the teacher prevents undesirable behavior of children, fixing and encouraging their intermediate successes, leading them to the achievement of the final goal.
It is known that children of this age evaluate their peers, focusing on the opinions of adults (parents and teachers). It is boys who are more often evaluated negatively by adults as naughty, pugnacious, etc. Girls, on the other hand, are more in line with the requirements of adults, they are kind, obedient, calm, and so on. Because of this, girls more often deserve praise and positive assessments. Regarding boys, due to the characteristics of the age of 3-5 years, attention to the words of the teacher is kept for no more than 2 minutes and the praise or remark should be more specific (fact - for what). In the lesson, the peculiarity of the age “I WANT!” is more manifested in the lesson, and the task of the children's choreographer is to make him believe in his own strength and ability to move in the right direction for the teacher. It is very important to share the failure with the child, or if something does not work out, to support him during the execution of the movements, relying on such knowledge of the psychology of the age of 3-5 years (crisis transition to "I AM!" "I'M ALREADY BIG!").
In general, preschoolers are kinesthetic, i.e. they need to try, not listen or watch, so choreography classes are the best fit for this requirement in the development of kids. When conducting a lesson with a given age, the teacher needs to take into account that preschoolers remain diligent only for about 12 minutes, and they need frequent changes in activities, switching attention. The fatigue of some and the activity of other children can be poured into the form of a short concert within the framework of the lesson, which contributes to the development of creative performing skills, acting skills, memorizing the material covered and demonstrating the skills acquired in rhythmoplasty. At the same time, it is worth remembering that any improvisation should be based on preparation; this technique should not be used if, in general, children have not yet learned much. You can also give homework"show the past or the concert to parents."
A separate moment of concentration of children is the image of the teacher in the classroom. neatness in appearance, the conformity of the choreographer's dress code should be supported by purity, clarity and literacy of pronunciation of words, activity in the conduct of the lesson, as well as participation in game moments as leading images / characters is possible with specific distinguishing objects that focus children's attention on the teacher.
Rhythmoplasty is the initial form of training, elementary knowledge of dance forms of movement, the first section of choreography training. This largely determines the selection of musical works. As a rule, musical excerpts do not yet require an in-depth approach to choreographic forms in the lessons, so they should not be too complex in sound, size and character. These are uncomplicated marches with a light texture for good rhythm assimilation by students. For exercises in a circle, simple polkas with a pronounced rhythm are used, for example, the Czech polka or the Belarusian polka “Janka”. In circle exercises, the choreographer often uses a change in tempo in music, which serves to more accurately perceive the music by students, teaches them to respond to an increase in tempo or slowdown, or to a sudden transition to a fast or slow motion. Raising the aesthetic perception of music, rhythm, you need to select musical passages that are consistent with the movements, with the nature of the dance, bright in sound. The role of the accompanist is indispensable. His work should be seen as an integral part of the process of learning the art of dance. The selection is carried out in a special musical material, which, unfortunately, is a rarity in music libraries and the task of the accompanist is not only to find the appropriate notes, but also to choose from them exactly what is useful in the choreography lesson. Sometimes it is worth turning to modern children's musical works that will have to be selected by ear, but in the end they will always delight children and good mood conducive to the learning of the material in the lesson. There is such a thing among choreographers as a “square”. This is nothing more than a period consisting of eight or sixteen measures, on the logical completeness of which the movements of the dance are built. Not all selected waltzes, polkas, marches can be approved by the choreographer. The musical repertoire needs to be constantly replenished. Indeed, the frequent sounding of the same march or waltz in a lesson leads to a mechanical, non-emotional performance of exercises by students. However, too frequent change of accompaniment scatters attention, does not contribute to the assimilation and memorization of movements. By giving a certain tempo, meter and rhythmic pattern, music reveals and emphasizes the characteristic features of the movement, helps its implementation and at the same time teaches children to understand the correspondence between the nature of the music and the nature of the movement.
Music, movement and word - these "three pillars" underlie the lesson of rhythmoplasty. To understand the rhythm and memorize many exercises in the classroom, a poetic accompaniment form is used. Examples of such short quatrains can be easily found on the Internet and books on education and outdoor games, choosing them for the topic of your studies and using figurative movements for a variety. For example:
Let's sit down and jump
The handles are wider and in the lock,
The handles are wider and in the lock,
See how we can!
Turn right, turn right
And we're going to stretch...
The task of the first two years of dance training is to coordinate speech with movement and music, teach you to navigate in space and master the basic dance elements. For 3-year-olds, the lesson concentrates much more dance games, and with a minimum content of choreography - claps, stomps, turns. At this age, it is not worth the task of teaching a child to dance. It is important to teach in the first place, so that children repeat after the teacher, navigate in space, and interact with other children. Also, from an early age, it is important for a dancer to develop an ear for music and a sense of rhythm. Games help develop reaction, quickly memorize dance moves and combinations.
At the age of 3, children learn simple dances-etudes, round dances with repetitions for better memorization, where children can perform movements according to the dance pattern, repeating after the teacher. And already from 4-5 years old, children can be taught to independently perform movements and memorize the order of the dance, children at 5 years old can easily adapt to dividing into groups in dance (according to images, gender, tasks). But still, at this age, and for staging dances for children in general, it should be borne in mind that it is easier for children to remember and understand a plot dance and with specific images. In staging and learning sketches, gifted children and group leaders are revealed, which helps the choreographer to coordinate his actions during the cycle of classes. To improve the productivity of classes, the teacher must actively work with parents, conduct tests and diagnose their work, analyze the results of the entire group and each child.
