Structured, Consistent and Developmentally Focused #2

Caption 1: Our dance classes are more than just a bunch of dances for children to copy. Our curriculum is structured and evidence backed.
Leap 'N Learn is changing the lives of children across the world and that's why we've adopted their approach. We believe in choosing the best curriculum for your children, one that provides exceptional, engaging educational experiences that honor the whole child.
Created and backed by experts, LNL is a developmentally appropriate curriculum for 3-7yr olds with 40 weeks of detailed lesson plans, props, music, artwork, and coloring sheets, free ongoing teacher training, and mentoring and support.
We bring high quality, effective, and consistent teaching into the classroom everyday 💚

Caption 2: Structure is one of the most important elements of our classes.
Structure lets yours kids feel confident and in control of their learning environment. If our dancers know what to expect, it leaves less room for uncertainty and anxiety, and more room for positive, playful learning.
Structure shows up in a bunch of different ways.
It can look like starting your kids in a circle each week. Or always talking about what our favorite exercise was at the end of class. Or even something as simple as always starting on the green spot and finishing on the red spot. Structure doesn't need to be stagnant, it can be inspiring and imaginative.
Through our Leap 'N Learn classes, we always work to balance structure with creativity, so the only surprises are the good ones!

Caption 3: Let's state the facts: consistency is what grows our students to be the best that they can be.
Consistent classroom experiences, teachers and exercises lead to maximum growth and learning.
This is why we took extra care in choosing a great curriculum as our foundation. Leap 'N Learn is all about providing the building blocks needed to take our dance education from great to truly exceptional.
Here's where we really see the difference:
🌟 in class: because structure reduces uncertainty, boosts student confidence and enables powerful learning.
🌟 across classes: you'll know that Wednesday 3:30pm kids get the same awesome teaching as Saturday 10am students.
🌟 across grades: all your new 8yr olds will have been exposed to the same movements, concepts and learning, which means you can build their dance skills far more effectively.
You can trust that at this studio, consistency will be there.

Caption 4: Structure is so important for a successful learning environment. And for some children, it’s crucial to them feeling safe and secure.
Providing clear, consistent structure for our students makes it easier for them to predict what comes next - and are then more likely to be responsive and ready to learn!

Caption 5:
What does a progressive curriculum look like?
"Progressive means we want to keep moving from one end goal oint to the next. We don't want to stay static, we don't want to do the same thing every time. We want students, parents and teachers to see the progress and see that it's sequential!" - Co-Creator of Leap 'N Learn, Dr. Annie Spell
At our studio, you can expect a progressive dance education, one that continue to move forward as the learner does.

Caption 6: Consistency is everything.
When it come to classroom management, how we show up as teachers matters, and showing up consistently is key. Our actions, our words, our behaviour and disposition should be aligned, reliable and predictable – it's all about the follow through 💘
Our Leap 'N Learn curriculum teaches us...
🎯 to set age-appropriate expectations
🎯 what consistency looks like in a dance class setting and why it matters
🎯 the importance of follow through and maintaining expectations
🎯 positive intervention strategies that work!
With clear, age-appropriate expectations and consistent follow through, our teachers can find a whole lot more ease as they deliver inspiring, engaging and educational dance classes. Sounds good, right!?

Caption 7: The Leap 'N Learn curriculum is more than just a bunch of exercises – it's a teaching method. And like any good method, it can be applied across a range of contexts, including different dance styles.
While the classic LNL curriculum is based on ballet and creative movement, we can adapt the foundations to focus on teaching a whole range of other dance styles the Leap 'N Learn way.
