What is creative dance?

Creative Dance is a contemporary form of dance that combines movement and artistic expression, without the need for specific training. Typically, creative dance focuses on the development of motor skills and emotional expression, as opposed to the aesthetics based focus of dance in more traditional structured settings.

This is why creative dance is explored with children when they are young - it allows for people of all abilities to take part and succeed.

Creative dance is a combination of all different styles of dance, and children can create their own dance personalities and choreography.

Why is creative dance important?

Creative dance is important for children to learn because it has been shown to have a positive effect on social and cognitive functioning. This helps improve children’s confidence and academic performance.

Another benefit of creative dance for children is that it helps them become more spacially aware. They’ll improve their gross motor skills, and find they can move with control and balance more easily.

Children will find that they are able to express themselves through creative dance, which will be particularly beneficial to those who struggle to communicate clearly or confidently.

What elements are covered in creative dance?

Within creative dance, performers will consider:

• Space
• 

• Time

• Force

• Body

They can then develop these elements into different speeds, shapes, rhythms, and direction.

At school, while your children may learn about the different types of dance, their PE lessons may focus more on designing their movements and controlling their bodies. Rather than learning specific ballroom or contemporary dances - they may begin to understand how emotion is portrayed through dance, and learn to perform a routine they have created with their peers. Often, children who are interested in specific types of dance genres will have lessons outside of school time.

Celebrate all the different types of dance genres with one of our fantastic teacher-created display packs. They contain everything you need to create an eye-catching display, and draw your class’s attention to the key vocabulary and forms of movement they will be learning throughout their lessons.
