All Ages Program

Tuesdays at 9.30am - 10.15am (Saturdays coming back in 2025)

The All Ages program is a dance and music class, and babies and children of all ages are welcome. Classes are particularly suitable for ages 1 – 5 years.

Each week children are taken on a new and exciting adventure, where there is a balance of familiarity and novelty to enable the creation of meaningful connections. Through musical activities and the use of themed dress-ups, props and other educational resources, the sessions concentrate on introducing, and thereafter establishing foundations in the following key areas of development –

Physical – 

  • Using body movement to convey meaning
  • Balance and coordination
  • Using their sense of sight, touch and hearing to explore different sensory experiences
  • Following actions such as clapping, stamping, hopping, jumping, skipping, moving around the circle, walking on flat feet and tippy toes, and many more
  • Spacial awareness – Travelling from point to point in different ways, moving over/under/around objects, going forwards/backwards/sideways

Social Skills – 

  • Cooperation and collaboration – participating in group activities with parental involvement and guidance
  • Communicating their thoughts and ideas in response to prompts
  • Turn-taking and patience
  • Matching emotions to facial expressions and body language

Music and Instruments –

Cognitive Skills –

Parent/carer participation

Parent/carer participation is required, so please dress in comfortable clothing and be ready to dance, imagine and learn and play along with your Mini Rocker!

Children are encouraged to be actively involved in their own learning.

If there is a particular area that interests your child, a lesson can be constructed to explore it as a group. Please contact Lisa by email on lisa@minirockers.com.au, by telephone on 0409209554 or in person at the beginning or end of a class with any theme requests.
