Minute Masterclass Episode 161

Welcome to your one-minute masterclass. I’m Andrea Trench, founder of DiscoverDance and creator of the Foundations Course for Early Childhood Dance Educators and the DiscoverDance Experience Membership. Today, I am sharing one of our preschool playlists. This playlist is for our Stage 3 classes, which are typically our 3 year olds. We are exploring the concept of RELATIONSHIPS. Let’s identify all our music must haves and how they are incorporated into our playlist. 

Freeze Dance- freeze dance song

Transition (prop clean up)/Hello Song- silent track with piggy-back song/ live singing of hello song

BrainDance- ritual instrumental song with piggyback songs throughout

Transition (move to white board to learn concept of the day)- silent track with piggy-back song

Concept Exploration- directive song

Transition (prop clean up)- silent track with piggy-back song

Skill Development- concept reinforcement and directive song

With a little practice, I’ll push play once and will hopefully never have to tend to the music again. Or, at least, not as much. Remember to check out today’s post inside the Early Childhood Dance Educators’ Facebook group. I’ll be sharing the Spotify link to this playlist for your music library. See you there!
