Methodological recommendations “Dance activities in preschool educational institutions”

Physical development of children through dancing

Children who regularly attend classes at a dance school enjoy good health. Properly selected physical activity and activity in the classroom contribute to:

• Strengthening all muscle groups;
• Formation of correct posture;
• Development of endurance;
• Improving the functioning of the heart and lungs, strengthening blood vessels;
• Development of coordination of movements, “muscle memory”;
• Development of flexibility and plasticity;
• Development of dexterity and speed of reaction.

Correct execution of dance movements requires school and considerable physical effort, but, unlike sports, dance lessons are practically harmless and have no contraindications.

Project in kindergarten on the topic Dance. Senior group

Project for the development of children's dance creativity "Magic dance movements"
Place of implementation of the project: Russia, Saratov region, Krasnoarmeysk city, MBDOU "Kindergarten No. 14", senior group No. 3 "Pinocchio". Project type: creative. Project participants: children of the senior group, teacher. Implementation period: September 2022 – May 2019 academic year. 1. Introduction Relevance. Dance is one of the types of art that is an effective artistic and aesthetic means of musical, plastic, physical development and moral and ethical education of a preschooler. The peculiarity of dance in an artistic image, which is embodied only with the help of expressive and special movements of the dancers, without any verbal explanations, which corresponds to the motor nature of children's creativity, which is characterized by the effective recreation of images by children “with the help of their bodies.” In dance, more than in other types of children's musical activities, creative imagination develops. Musical accompaniment of different types of dances develops children's musicality, love of music and shapes children's aesthetic taste. Having studied the literature on the development of dance creativity, I came to the conclusion that with the help of dance creativity it is possible to solve some of the problems that arise in children of senior preschool age (self-doubt, stress caused by emotional imbalance). As a result, dance can be considered as a way of self-expression, communication (communication) and socialization; harmonization of physical condition and spiritual world. Problem. Observing children who are taught musical and rhythmic movements, despite their good level of development, I came to the conclusion that dance improvisations are monotonous and not original; children do not experience pleasant emotionality, they are tense and seem to be afraid to deviate from the learned movements, they cannot independently come up with their own variations of movements. This is the reason for the relevance of this project topic. Hypothesis. The formation of children's dance creativity will become more effective if dance and musical-rhythmic movements are constantly used in different types of musical activities; use a diverse combination of all methods and forms and techniques of OOD for the development of dance creativity; develop interest in dancing; improve the psychophysical qualities of children. The goal of the project is to develop the creative abilities of children of senior preschool age through musical, rhythmic and dance movements. Project objectives: 2. To develop in children the ability to invent simple dance movements using familiar ones. 3. Develop the emotional state of children while performing dance movements. 4. To promote the development of the ability to find one’s own, distinctive movements to express the character of music 5. To foster a desire for self-realization in movement to music. Expected results for the project: Children mastering new motor skills;
Unlocking children's creative abilities; A significant increase in the level of musical and rhythmic training and development of the emotional sphere of children. Formation of interest in practicing musical-rhythmic movements and dances, the need for constant motor activity; Formation of personal communicative qualities. Analysis of the initial monitoring data obtained showed that the level of development of children's dance creativity is quite low, i.e. I set myself the task of developing a system of work to develop children's creativity. Stages of the project
1 preparatory stage. Studying methodological literature on this topic. Preparation of necessary materials and equipment. Consultation for parents. Carrying out introductory diagnostics, main stage 2. Practical. Drawing up a long-term plan. Drawing up notes of holidays and entertainment that contribute to the implementation of project objectives. Carrying out creative minutes during which children independently come up with new movements. Children's participation in creating new dance compositions. Assess your personal participation in the process of dance creativity Children's dance creativity is impossible without the development of musical and rhythmic movements. Musical-rhythmic movements are the most productive type of musical activity, with the help of which musical creativity and creative qualities of the individual are formed. At the first stage, children were offered figurative dance exercises and sketches, which contribute to the development of plasticity and creativity, the emancipation of children who are invited to transform into one or another image. In this case, not only pantomime is used, but also the language of gestures and facial expressions. Next, children are asked to master the main types of musical and rhythmic movements: various types of walking, running and jumping. After this, children develop orientation in space, formation, development of dance movements, plasticity, expressiveness of performance, and dancing. Particular attention is paid to the individual creative expression of children in sketch games, improvisation games, and dance improvisations. Thus, in children, in the process of dance creativity, a positive sense of self is strengthened, which is associated with a state of self-confidence, liberation, positive self-esteem, and importance in the children's team. Plot sketches can be divided into the following types: Dynamic sketches allow you to reveal a situation, a plot in development, for example: “Skiing”, “Playing snowballs”, “Collecting berries”, “Sly little fox”, etc. In the work on creating a dynamic sketch, several stages can be distinguished: - creating a figurative image: “Bunnies are jumping”, “A fox is running”, - creating a figurative image in contrast: “The bear is sleeping” - “The bear is picking mushrooms”, - creating an expressive image: “ The cat is sick”, “Sunny Bunny”. Static studies. It is easiest for children to create and depict an image from an illustration (picture) with musical accompaniment: “The doll is sleeping,” “The soldier is standing,” “The dog is resting.” Position studies are performed with interest by children of primary preschool age. They give the child the opportunity to independently come up with a composition, using life experience in accordance with age: “A bird sits on a branch,” “The sun is smiling.” To create an expressive static image, it is necessary to develop facial expressions and general plasticity, as well as coordination of movements. Transitional studies from dynamic to static . Game “Freeze”, “The sea is agitated once”. According to the conditions of the game, the types of movements alternate. This type combines the expressive capabilities of dynamic and static studies. For this type of creative tasks, preference is given to bright, visual music. The teacher’s task is to help the child with high-quality and expressive improvisation on the piano. Creative games also include special theatrical games for children or creative sketches. This is a small performance in which a certain event should take place in expected situations, circumstances, conditions. Guess what I'm doing Purpose:
explain a given pose, develop imagination, memory.
Move:
the teacher suggests taking a certain pose and explaining it.
1. Stand with your hand raised. Possible answers: putting a book on a shelf, hanging a jacket, decorating a Christmas tree, etc. 2. Stand on your knees, arms and body pointing forward. I'm looking for a spoon under the table, watching a caterpillar, feeding a kitten. 3. Squat. I look at the broken cup and draw with chalk. 4. Lean forward. I tie my shoelaces, pick up my scarf, and pick a flower. The same thing in different ways Goal:
to develop the ability to justify and explain one’s behavior, one’s actions with fantasized reasons suggested by circumstances, to develop imagination, faith, fantasy.
Move:
children are asked to come up with and show several options for behavior for a specific task: a person walks, sits, runs, listens, etc.
Each child comes up with his own behavior, and the other children must guess what he is doing. Children are divided into 2-3 creative groups, each receiving a specific task. 1 - sit. Options: sitting in front of the TV, in the circus, in the dentist’s office, etc. 2 - go. Options: walk along the road with puddles and mud all around, along hot sand, along a narrow bridge, along a mountain path. 3 - run. Running, being late for the theater, from an angry dog, getting caught in the rain, etc. Transformation of an object. Goal:
to develop intelligence, imagination and fantasy.
Move:
the object is placed on a chair in the center of the circle or passed from one child to another.
Everyone must act with the object in their own way, justifying its new purpose. Options: 1. pencil or stick - key, screwdriver, fork, toothbrush 2. small ball - apple, shell, snowball, chicken, bun 3. notebook - mirror, soap, chocolate, shoe brush. Games with imaginary objects. King Goal:
to develop actions with imaginary objects, the ability to act in concert.
Progress:
a child is chosen to play the role of king.
The rest are workers, they agree among themselves what they will do, what work they will be hired for. They approach the king. - Hello, king! - Hello! - Do you need workers? - What can you do? - you guess it! Children, acting with imaginary objects, demonstrate various professions: cooking, washing, embroidering, watering flowers, etc. The king must guess. If he does it correctly, he will catch up with the children. The first child caught becomes king. Birthday Goal:
to develop skills in acting with imaginary objects, to cultivate goodwill and contact in relationships.
Move:
a child is selected who invites the children to the birthday party.
Guests come and bring imaginary gifts. The birthday boy (and other guests) guess. We won’t say what we did, but we will show you. You can offer the following tasks: washing hands, drawing, washing a scarf, rocking a doll, etc., as well as performing paired and group tasks: playing ball, pulling a rope, passing a bowl of fruit. Topics should be close and understandable to children - Quarrel, Meeting, Getting to know each other, Treating, Talking on the phone, etc. When writing a sketch, children must answer many questions: where am I, where did I come from, why, when, why. We offer studies on basic emotions: Sadness, Anger, Joy, Surprise, Fear. You can use five senses: Hearing, Vision, Smell, Touch, Taste. For example, taste a bitter medicine or candy; smell the paint, the cake being cooked. 3 final stage. Analytical. Final diagnostics. Project results. Prospects for further development on this topic. Forms of work: - subgroup work - individual work with passive, shy, hyperactive children - parent meetings As a result of the project, students became more active in creative development. They became more flexible and relaxed, which had a positive effect on the development of creativity. Movements in dance compositions have become more precise in execution, and also, children more often began to have a desire to introduce something new into gestures and facial expressions. Conclusions. While implementing the project, the children fully developed their imagination, supported by learning experience. Sometimes, it happens, I have to be surprised at the originality of children's decisions, which turn out to be no less, and sometimes even more successful and organic than my own preparations. At such moments, I try to listen to children in their creativity and even learn from them. The development of children's dance creativity has improved and led to excellent results, since pedagogical activities in musical-rhythmic movements and dances are implemented in accordance with their abilities and preparedness. This is evidenced by the results of the final monitoring. Children's skills in performing dance movements have strengthened, children began to understand their meaning, and are able to express their attitude and mood with the help of these movements. Children's ability to convey a musical image in plastic using musical and rhythmic movements has developed. The ability to compose simple dance compositions using familiar musical and rhythmic movements has been developed. The emotional sphere of children has developed. Summing up the work done , we can say that the development of children's dance creativity has improved. The successful completion of this important task is facilitated by the characteristic abilities of children of this age: increased susceptibility, impressionability. Based on the results of the project activities, it can be noted that children are fully prepared to solve problems on this issue if methodologically competent, systematic work is carried out on the part of the leader in close cooperation with the families of pupils and teachers of the preschool educational institution. In my future professional activities, I plan to continue working on the development of children's dance creativity, to use information forms (the use of computer technologies in direct educational activities and in free activities); continue interaction with the families of pupils.

Intellectual development of children

It may seem that active activities have little effect on children's intellectual development. But this is absolutely not true! Memorizing movements and their combinations perfectly trains the memory of preschoolers, and the need to constantly monitor the music, teacher and friends in the lesson perfectly develops attention. Lessons at the dance school develop spatial thinking, the baby quickly learns to perceive the concepts of “top”, “bottom”, “right”, “left”, “side”, “in the middle”, “above”, “under”, “in front”, “ for" and so on. To transform into the image necessary for the dance, the child actively uses his imagination. In general, intelligence is the ability to adapt to new conditions and learn quickly. During classes, children not only perform prepared dances, but also often improvise. By getting to know himself and the capabilities of his body, the baby creates a fundamental basis for new discoveries.

Artistic and aesthetic development in dance school

Dancing instills in preschoolers a love of art, a sense of beauty, and also opens up for them a new way of perceiving the world - through music and movement. A variety of forms of conveying feelings is formed in the dance school through immersion in various images. With the help of plastic arts and artistic movement, children learn to express their creative ideas, moods, and thoughts. Babies also develop an ear for music and a sense of rhythm. Dance lessons undoubtedly contribute to the artistic and aesthetic development of preschool children.

The unity of movements and music is a special way of perceiving the world, which opens up to the child during dance classes and remains with him for life.

Development of personal qualities

Listening to music makes a great contribution to the development of a child’s personality, including his emotional sphere, because it contains many experiences, emotions, feelings, and events. Thanks to dancing, children recognize themselves and become well oriented in their inner world. In addition, children develop such qualities as:

• Artistry;
• Creativity;
• Public speaking skills;
• Activity;
• Self confidence;
• Self-control;
• Discipline;
• Determination;
• Persistence.

We can say that this is a whole school of life.

Development of communication skills

Dance lessons help children improve their communication skills. Kids usually make new acquaintances without difficulty, because the atmosphere that prevails at the dance school is conducive to close emotional communication. Even shy and unsociable children are liberated and quickly join the team. Basically, dancing is teamwork, so preschoolers develop a sense of trust in others, and also develop skills of interaction with other people, the ability to find a common language with peers in the class. In choreography lessons, children are taught to express their emotions through facial expressions and gestures, and this greatly helps them better understand how other people feel.

How to stage children's dances in kindergarten?

Matinees in kindergarten are impossible without original dances. To set them up, the manager will need imagination. And, of course, it is necessary to prepare costumes. Children's dances in kindergarten are a kind of mini-performances. Therefore, you should carefully think through their plot, work out not only the movements, but also the facial expressions of the dancers. This article will tell you how to stage children's dances in kindergarten.

Dance "Matryoshka"

In addition to costumes, to stage this song you will need props - a child-sized model of a matryoshka doll on cardboard. All the girls in Russian folk sundresses, kerchiefs and painted cheeks are hiding behind him, standing behind each other’s heads in two ranks. The phonogram begins to sound, and to the music of the song “We are cuties, tumbler dolls,” one after another the girls “float out” from behind the nesting doll, holding on to the corners of their scarves and swaying slightly from side to side. Children's dances in kindergarten are not aimed at developing children's mastery of dance movements, but so that the children are interested, so that they can overcome their embarrassment and tightness. Therefore, the movements themselves should be as simple as possible: “heel-toe”, swinging with arms folded on the chest like a “boat”, turns 360 degrees with a raised hand with a handkerchief.

Russian folk dances of children in kindergarten

You can stage a “Quadrille” very beautifully in the kindergarten. Russian folk children's dances in kindergarten turn into a real performance! Everyone knows the song to the words of E. Temnikova and the music of V. Temnov “Quadrille”, which makes for a fun performance. The first verse is introductory. The girls are on the sidelines “gnawing seeds” and from time to time they turn towards the boys and laugh contagiously. Boys in shirts tied with ropes and caps with large flowers above the visor are sitting on a bench with their hands folded on their chests. As the second verse begins, one stands up and waves his hand, as if to say: “Ah! Come what may!" - and heads towards the girls. The rest of the boys look at each other, laugh at him, pointing their fingers. But the brave man approaches the girls and ceremoniously invites one of them. She, just as primly, accepts the invitation, they hold hands, raise them with their “collars” and slowly walk in a circle to the music. The girl holds the edge of her dress with her other hand, the boy bends his hand behind his back. The rest of the boys look at each other, stand up, pull down their shirts, straighten their caps and, one after another, head towards the girls. After accepting their invitation to square dance, the dance itself begins. The movements of the quadrille are simple. Couples spin around, locking elbows, boys get down on one knee, and girls spin around them, holding their beau's hand. You can enable the “stream” movement - similar to what happens in the game of the same name. Swinging your arms in a “boat” motion, moving closer and further apart in pairs, holding both hands, playing “palm clappers” - all these movements are easy and the kids really like them.

Kindergarten graduation

The dance for this celebration must be associated with the school. Therefore, you can choose songs about school as the musical accompaniment: “First time in first grade” to the music of Anna Agafonova and Kamila Izmailova or the famous “Wonderful School Years.” Children can wear school uniforms or just costumes. You can use the already described “Quadrille”, but in a converted version. Let the words of the song tell about how “Once upon a time, Russians, Valyusha, Alla, Tanya, Arkasha, Sasha, Vanya, entered kindergarten... They asked to see mom and dad and cried, and then, having played too much, they didn’t go back! » In such a “quadrille” you can include verses about how children shared toys, starting fights, how they organized miniature discos with “break” and “hip-hop” during music classes. But now they have already grown up, become serious, and very soon they will go to school, holding hands.

At what age can you start taking dance lessons?

Every parent wants their baby to actively and fully develop, so almost from the very birth of the baby they think about which club to send their child to, which will best prepare them for school. Most sections recruit children over 4 years old. But dancing is exactly the kind of activity that is suitable for children from 2-3 years old. This is due to the level of physical development of children of this age and their needs. At 2 years old, children usually love everything that has to do with movement. They can run, jump, and overcome obstacles almost without stopping. As the vestibular apparatus develops, the ability to maintain balance develops. By the age of 3, movements become more precise and coordinated, and reaction speed increases. From 4-5 years old, preschoolers have access to complex motor skills that require good physical fitness, dexterity, flexibility and speed of reaction. Of course, preschool children, in most cases, cannot master complex choreography and achieve high results. But dancing classes under the guidance of a professional and attentive teacher will allow the child to express himself and fully satisfy his need to be in motion, as well as prepare the basis for future victories. To accurately determine whether your baby is ready for dance classes, you can ask yourself the following questions:

• How does your child prefer to spend his free time? Does he like active or quiet games?
• How does the baby tolerate physical activity?
• Will he be able to listen to the school teacher and fulfill his requirements?
• And most importantly: does the child like to dance? To find out, you can simply watch the baby or invite him to dance with you.

Children aged 2-4 years, along with older preschoolers, can safely be sent to dance lessons, since active physical development occurs at this stage, but the individual characteristics of the child must always be taken into account.

conclusions

When parents are faced with a choice of which section or club to send their child to, many choose a dance school. And this is exactly what children of early and preschool age need. Dance classes make a great contribution to the physical, intellectual, personal, social and aesthetic development of the child. Children involved in dancing develop self-control skills, the ability to work in a team and collaborate with peers, and listen to the teacher. When going to school, the child will be psychologically prepared for new conditions.
