Achievement of goals here for Make A Move 🙌 🏆 Our aim is to give students the skills to create a dance in teams that they may not usually work in. Our program focusses on using the elements of dance as well as mathematical elements to think outside the box. We focus on empowering all students to feel valued in their team, not just the students who are “dancers”. Every student gets their turn to shine at the front of the stage and all students feel a sense of pride and ownership over the choreography performed in their dance. #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

Orana CPS, we can’t wait to see what you create in your dance program this year! This is our 3rd year at Orana. Last year, our end of term 1 show was cancelled because of Covid-19 precautions. The students worked so hard on their creations! Let’s hope that this year will be even better! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

After a lovely holiday period, we are now back at it and ready for a busy 2021 season! . . . Our teachers can’t wait to dance with our creative students at all of our schools this year - let’s dance our way to a fantastic 2021! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

On behalf of the Make A Move team, we want to wish you all happy and safe Christmas season 🎄🎅🏼🎁💙💚

Did you know we also hold info sessions and PD for staff when requested? This week, we were invited to speak at the Catholic Primary Schools Sporting Association end of year meeting for physical education teachers from schools in the northern suburbs. Our director, Meagan Baronas, had a fabulous time working with the Phys Ed teachers outlining what makes our dance program so special - THE STUDENTS GET TO CREATE. Make A Move is already present at some of these schools, we hope to see more new faces join our creative dance program in 2021 and 2022. #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

Our stars of the week from last week! 🌟🌟These St John students have been going above and beyond in both their dancing and the way they neatly move between patterns on the stage. Super professional and we are super proud of you both! 💫💥 #staroftheweek #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

If you’ve seen our signs around our schools, you will recognise this! Most people think of school dance as students learning a dance from a teacher and being either “coordinated” or not. This is not true with the WA dance curriculum. The curriculum is all about the creativity of the student and using movement to tell stories. We teach the students the skills to become choreographers of their own creative dances using some of these tools. #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

Best of luck to the Yidarra students tonight on their second Make A Move show ever 🕺 We love creating with you! 💚💙 The thing that makes our program so successful with our students? THEY get to CREATE part of their dance! Being trained primary teachers, we know what really matters. It’s all about the dance journey of our young choreographers, developing teamwork skills and other valuable mathematic and memory skills. It’s about letting students be free to explore patterns, shapes and movement as per the dance curriculum, not just learning a dance from a teacher. Our dances have a lot of pattern changes and movement around the stage, developing key working memory skills for our students. This is Make A Move. #showtime #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts #steamprogram

1 MORE SLEEP until the Yidarra CPS end of year concert! The students are so excited to show off their work ON THE BIG STAGE at Kennedy Baptist College💙💚 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

Lovely feedback from one of our Yidarra families 💚💙 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

This week’s star of the week is one of our outstanding junior students from Yidarra. After receiving a Make A Move sticker for being a great team member in her dance group, this student told us she would wear her Make A Move sticker to class every week because she loves Make A Move so much! The following week, sure enough, she returned with her sticker pinned to her shirt 💚💙 It was a heartwarming moment for Miss B! #makeamove #thepowerofdance #creativedanceprogram #curriculumlinked #dance #staroftheweek #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts

We found a 🌟 of the week at St John’s today! One of our year 2 students decided that he remembers his group dance better when he sees it drawn on paper....so he went home and did exactly that! What a fabulous idea, that’s higher order thinking skills right there! His passion for dance and using his creative skills have shone through this term 💫 We are very proud of our St John’s students in their very first year of Make A Move 💙💚 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram ##curriculumlinked #dance #staroftheweek #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts #creative

Happy World Teachers’ Day to our Make A Move teachers - Miss B and Miss K! 💚💙 Being qualified teachers helps us to deliver the dance curriculum to our students in the best possible way. We LOVE being creative with our students every single day! A special shout out to all the amazing staff members at each of our schools, who welcome us each week with open arms. We see and appreciate all the hard work you do for your students! 👏 Remember to be kind to your teachers today and say a big THANK YOU to them for all the work they do - especially during this crazy year. 🙏 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #teachersday #thankteachers #brightfuture #curriculumlinked #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance #kidsdance #thearts #teachers @aitsl

Happy World Ballet Day! 🩰 Not everyone is a fan of classical ballet, however as a professional dancer it is a necessity to have the technique and discipline that comes with years of studying this style of dance. Ballet is the basis for many other styles of dance including jazz and contemporary. For children, ballet can help to develop the strength and technique required for all dance styles, as well as discipline and self control. For adults, ballet can provide you with fantastic core strength and a slow-paced yet intense cardio workout. Give it a go! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #dance #worldballetday2020 #ballet #dancelife #perthdance #perthdanceprogram #kidsdance #kidsdanceprogram

A sneak peak of some of the work that the students at OLA Dianella have been busy creating! Well done guys 🎉 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #dance #danceprogram #kidsdanceprogram #perthdance #areyoureadytomakeamove #makeamovedance

It’s our BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎉🎉 3 years ago, our vision to teach students how to create their own dances and perform them on stage WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE! We want to thank our schools, students and each and every one of you who have supported us and helped us to grow over the last 3 amazing years! We love our Make A Move community and can’t wait to see what our students can create in the years to come. 💙 The Make A Move team 💚 #happybirthdaytous #birthday #3years #dance #dancelife #perthdance #kidsdance #creativedanceprogram #makeamove #creativedance

“We perform in rain 🌧 hail or shine ☀️” Tonight, the students of Majella were the definition of this! 🕺💃 Despite a small amount of drizzle before the start of our show, nothing was raining on our parade from the moment the students hit the stage! 🕺 We are so proud of the way that the Majella students handled themselves! Their show was amazing! Miss B is so proud of you all! 💚💙 A BIG thank you to all the staff and people who helped with the planning and set up 💙💚 #danceislife #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #specialistdanceteacher

💙Proud teacher moment💚 Friday’s show at St Kieran was INCREDIBLE! We can’t believe the improvement and the creativity of the students that we worked with this year. Brought tears to our eyes! A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped to organise the show, including the students who looked amazing in their “back in time” costumes! See you all next time! 💙💚

IT’S SHOW DAY FOR ST KIERAN! Did you know that all the small groups parts of the class dances that you see have been choreographed BY THE STUDENTS? We can’t wait for you to see what they have been working on! The show will be live streamed privately from 9.30am and also recorded for St Kieran families to keep in line with COVID-19 guidelines at the school. #itsshowtime #dancelife #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #kidsdance #keepingkidsfit #activekids #perthdance #dance

After an awesome first day with you on your “Wacky Wednesday”, we can’t wait to work with the creative students of St John’s Scarborough again next Wednesday and all of Term 4! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #perthdance #kidsdanceprogram #kidsdance #dance

One more sleep until the St Kieran show 🎉💃🕺 #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #kidsdance #perthdanceprogram #dance #itsshowtime #danceshow

We are fast approaching our end of term concerts! Each school has had to make some challenging decisions on how to approach their end of term concert with the COVID-19 guidelines that are applicable to their school. While we understand that it is not ideal that the show might have to be split into 2 concerts, or that parents can only watch via live streaming or recording, we want to assure you that our priority has always been the amazing dance journey that our students have been on. One thing that is for sure is that THEY CANNOT WAIT TO PERFORM FOR YOU, whether you are watching live or through the live streaming. We want to thank you for your understanding. We also want to congratulate each school on the professional way they have handled this challenging time. Bring on the next 2 weeks of shows!!! 💚 from the Make A Move team 💙

We are sad to say that this is our last week with the fabulous Kindy, Year 1, Year 3 and Year 5 classes at St Francis Of Assisi in Butler. The Year 5 students have been working hard on their acting skills to tell a story in their dance. They can’t wait to perform in their shows next Thursday! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #kidsdance #danceprogram #perthdance

Teacher changes for Wednesday: Miss Kerimi will be at St Francis Of Assisi Butler, Miss Baronas will be at St John’s Scarborough. Have a lovely week everyone! #makeamove #week9 #creativedanceprogram #dance

We have come to the end of our 8 week program with St Kieran in Tuart Hill. Every year we thoroughly enjoy working with the creative and insanely talented students at this school. Bring on the show next week!!! 💃🕺🎤 #lastday #danceprogram #creativedanceprogram #perthdance #kidsdanceprogram #kidsdance #makeamovedance

Did someone say glitter and sequins EVERYWHERE!?!? 💃🕺 Term 3 costume notes for parents will be sent home through your schools this week! Remember, at Make A Move we NEVER require you to buy anything new. Our focus is on the dance. Send your child in something that you already have at home that suits the class costume theme. We also have some costume accessories that we bring to each school on the concert day to help out! #makeamove #creativedanceprogram #dancecostumes #sequins #glitter #dance #perthdanceprogram #kidsdance

Teacher changes for today (Wed 19/8/20) Miss Baronas will be at St Francis of Assisi Miss Kerimi will be at St Kieran Have a lovely day! - The Make A Move team
