This weekend I finished my placement with Jenna at Kenilworth Creative Dance. I've really enjoyed my 5 weeks on placement and Jenna has said that I can continue with the classes next term.
The first class has children between the ages of 2-5 years old and their parents. The sessions are very creative and involve lots of storytelling. These classes are so much fun and the children have a lot of say in what they want to do. One participant made an 'Ideas Box' so the other children can submit ideas for future classes.
The second class is for 5-7 year olds. Most of the children in this class have some kind of disability and parents also take part. This class can be more difficult at times. It seems that there are good days where the children are very interested and keen to take part but there are also bad days when one or two children decide they do not want to be there so it can be struggle to make progress in the session.
I've loved every minute of my placement and it has most certainly reminded me why I want to be a community dance leader.
