2. DANCE MOUSE™ aims to educate and correctly teach children to protect, strengthen and stretch their bodies from a young age. By utilising the centre of the body (core) for dance and any other activities, injuries are prevented and the dancer is very aware of their own body, its limitations and its strengths, thereby offering a solid foundation of dance & body awareness. It allows the child technical training, spatial awareness as well as fun, rhythm, self-confidence and exercise. Children should want to dance for fun (whether talented or not) and have the freedom to do so.
3. DANCE MOUSE™ aims to encourage children to enjoy dance expression and to increase the passion, love and standard of dance in S.A. By joining DANCE MOUSE™ the young dancer is exposed to numerous dance genres they would not normally be exposed to, giving them a wider platform for expression and development. Once young dancers have had this foundation they are free to decide what dance form they wish to continue in.
4. The DANCE MOUSE™ syllabus is for children from Grade 000-Grade 7. This enables dancers to choose what form of dance they wish to pursue as it provides excellent grounding in most dance forms.
5. Parents will be kept informed via a DANCE MOUSE™ pamphlet, about the aims and achievements for each term! Participation in an assessment is done at the end of each year and dancers receive a certificate, report and a zip-tag (medal) in recognition of their effort.
6. The teachers and franchisee owners have received excellent training in order to teach the DANCE MOUSE™ syllabus. Teachers must perform an examination and a course annually to improve their knowledge, keep the standard high and for upgrading of the syllabus.
