Celebrating movement at the earliest stage, our Creative Movers classes take children on a joyful and imaginative journey through contemporary dance.
We begin each class with an energetic warm-up, followed by physical and spatial skill development, with a deep dive into their imaginations to close.
Through the classes, children are supported to develop physical skills, improve communication, harness musicality, foster creativity and grow in confidence.

5-15 years
Creative Dance builds strong technical dance skills that improves physical ability, artistic expression, musicality, and confidence on and off stage.
As students continue to refine these skills, they gain a solid foundation for future careers in dance or other creative fields, while also developing discipline, teamwork, and a better understanding of their bodies.
Creative Dance encourages independent thinking, self expression, and personal interpretation. With a structured yet flexible approach, students are free to explore and develop their creativity. This supportive environment helps them build confidence, take risks, push boundaries, and express themselves in an authentic way.
Boost communication and teamwork skills.
Students study classical, contemporary, modern dance, contemporary, hip hop and tap techniques with the drive being dance literacy, not competition dance, where much of class time is spent on polishing a few routines.
This syllabus lays a strong foundation for movement exploration – dance, sport and healthy living. It helps students develop key skills like body awareness, coordination, strength and flexibility, which are essential for both dance and other physical activities. Creative dance fosters transferable skills from the dance studio into school and study life and beyond into their professional lives.
EDH’s Creative Dance program in conjunction with Rambert Grades and the International Dance council, encourages lifelong habits for physical fitness, mental clarity, and emotional balance.
