Action Moves for Kids Aged 6-10
In 2006 Action Moves will take a change in direction to become a school based touring program and will no longer be offered each Monday at the Chunky Move Studios. We hope this re-structure will ensure the longevity of the program and provide a positive dance experience to many more children across Victoria.
To register an expression of interest from your child's school please email Jo at: jo@chunkymove.com.au
Thank you for your support of the Action Moves program throughout 2005!

Explanations
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance borrows from jazz, ballet, funk, social
dance styles and many modern dance styles of the 20th century.
Contemporary dance encourages natural, spontaneous movement
and personal interpretation. It focuses on self-expression,
awareness of space and body movement, use of body weight,
efficiency of muscle use and safe body alignment. Classes
start with a comprehensive warm-up and gradually build up
to more elaborate dance routines.
PILATES
Pilates is a system of body conditioning designed in the 1920s by physical trainer Joseph Pilates. Some of the first people to use the Pilates method were dancers and it continues to be popular amongst dancers today. Classes consist of energizing floor-based exercise routines designed to improve flexibility and strength without building bulk. You will be guided through a series of controlled movements that will help you with your body alignment and strengthen and tone your abdominal and back muscles.
BALLET
Classical ballet is characterized by a standard vocabulary
of steps, poses, and graceful movements including pointed
feet, rising, jumping, stretching and spinning. It is strengthening,
disciplined and stylised. The class starts with exercises
at the barre followed by work in the centre of the floor.
Classical ballet for adults is a great way of improving flexibility
and coordination.
FUNK
Funk is the dance style you see on the latest music video
clips. This fun and energetic class pumps its way through
popular music and is a lively workout. A good place to start
if you’re a beginner, the class begins with a warm-up
and some stretching and then continues into some funky routines.
FUNK/HIP
HOP
This class uses Funk with the addition of Hip Hop techniques
such as popping, locking and breaking. Starting with a short
warm-up, you are then taught isolation exercises which train
you to move different parts of your body independently. A
short choreographed routine is put together so that you can
enjoy the freedom of dancing in a fun, aerobic and exhilarating
style.
BREAK DANCE
Breakdancing originated in the Bronx in the mid 1970's allowing rival gangs to battle it out on the dance floor without any bloodshed. In this class you will learn all elements of Breakin' including Toprocs (funky upright dance steps before you hit the floor), Footwork (play between hands and feet on the floor), Freezes (balancing on hands and forearms with legs in the air) and Power Moves (spins, glides, air moves).
YOGA
This class provides an introduction to the asanas/postures of Hatha yoga. Moving with awareness and guided by the breath we will explore basic standing and seated postures, simple breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation. By cultivating the movement of prana (energy) in the body, a more energised yet calm state of being is often experienced. Taught by pilates/yoga teacher and dancer Jo White.
ACTION MOVES
At Action Moves for boys, your child
will enjoy energetic rhythmic combinations to music with special
games and character-based tasks to stimulate his imagination.
Specifically for boys aged 6 to 10, classes are designed to
be fun and at the same time challenging to build stamina,
strength, flexibility and coordination.
