Dance: Let's Move
listenListen to an extract from the series Age 5 - 7
20 mins
Dance with Let's MoveLet's Move is the foundation of School Radio's dance resources. It uses carefully chosen music - often specially composed for the series - to encourage children to respond to sound and explore their thoughts and feelings. Programmes are often inspired by key infant topics and by popular stories, providing opportunities to extend the dance into other areas of the curriculum.

Curriculum links
The PE Curriculum at Key Stage 1 requires a range of dance activities and specifies that children should have opportunities to:
a) use movement imaginatively, responding to stimuli, including music, and performing basic skills [for example, travelling, being still, making a shape, jumping, turning and gesturing]
b) change the rhythm, speed, level and direction of their movements
c) create and perform dances using simple movement patterns, including those from different times and cultures
d) express and communicate ideas and feelings
Let's Move is an ideal resource for providing all these dance opportunities.
