Book Description
These activities bring out the strong movement impulses in children, who love to burn off energy by spontaneously dancing around the living room or running from place to place. Children will develop an awareness for their bodies, time, space, weight, locomotion, flow, and shape. Performed quickly or slowly, with music or without, solo or in a group, these activities make for fun, engaging educational experiences for children.

Reader Reviews
I am amazed at how useful this book is. I teach music, and like to do movement with my kids. Each activity is well explained, doable, and fun! Musical suggestions are given which is helpful. Every activity I have done from this book the kids have loved. I am impressed with all John Feierabends books in that it seems he is very good at collecting and presenting info. This book is based on Laban's philosophys. Comment | | (Report this)
