This fall I will be teaching a class called Sing and Swing Baby at Dancewave Center in Brooklyn. These classes are Baby and Grown-up classes starting at 5 months through the transition of crawling to walking. I am really looking forward to it and it should be a new experience, which I love! This week I am going to take a trip to the bookstore to do some research on this age group and see what is important for their development. I want the class to be fun for the grownups too, afterall it is a dance class!
As I work out the curriculum, I am wondering if any of you teach these young classes? What is your favorite thing to do this age group? I would love to hear!
