Chakradance Kids is a 9 week social and emotional learning program for 3-6 year olds that nurtures whole child development through play! Interweaving signature storytelling, kiddie yoga, dance, creative artwork and mindfulness, our classes foster confidence, creativity and self-expression while teaching invaluable and age-appropriate tools for resilience, personal empowerment and emotional regulation.
Peek inside a Chakradance Kids class and you will see children wiping away dragon sneeze with feathers or moving on the floor like wolves. They may be creating art in a magic circle or reaching up like a forest of trees.
The first series, called The Magic Story Tree, guides children on a magical journey of self-discovery with lead character, Nixie the Rainbow Dragon. Our classes are playful, creative and full of magic, as this is how children learn best!
At the end of each class your child will go home with their own unique piece of artwork capturing the magic of the week, along with a special gift and a colouring activity with supporting affirmation. Parents will also receive a take home newsletter covering the theme of the class and how to support their little ones at home.
WEEKLY THEMES
Week by week, children meet magical new characters as they immerse into each realm, learning invaluable emotional and social skills along the way! The 9 week program will explore nine key childhood developmental themes:
- Week 1: “My Magic Bubble” – connecting with our bodies and understanding personal space
- Week 2: “I am safe” – learning to trust our instincts
- Week 3: “It’s OK to share my feelings” – healthy emotional expression and tools for self-regulation
- Week 4: “It’s brave to say ‘no’” – self-worth, self-esteem and personal boundaries
- Week 5: “I am loved” – compassion and kindness for self and others
- Week 6: “My voice matters” – self-expression and speaking our truth
- Week 7: “I am powerful” – accessing intuition and imagination
- Week 8: “I belong here” – connection to self and others and embodying a sense of belonging in the world
- Week 9: “I can celebrate my successes” – integrating the program and celebrating at Nixie The Dragon’s Rainbow Party!
