The method
You know how to teach. What drains you is the night before: inventing a new game, hunting for the music, remembering which warm-up you already used with that group in March. That is the part that arrives finished.
Every session comes with a teaching objective, materials, the exercise sequence, the game that closes the class and what to look for in each child. You read it in two minutes and walk in with the plan in your head.
The progression is already built across four levels, from first contact to adapted repertoire. Nobody has to repeat September's class because the ideas ran out.
How it works
Four modules by age and experience. You decide where each group starts — and you can run different groups at different levels at the same time.
Objective, materials, exercise sequence and the closing game, all on one page. Short enough to read on the way to the studio.
Cast the video to the TV or use the printed script alone. Correcting posture and reading the room stays with you.
Release the week's lesson via a time-limited link. The child carries on at home and you start the next class with a warmed-up group.
Who signs the method
Brincando de Dançar is the method Alice Arja created for early childhood and uses to train teachers — arranged in sequence and tested with real groups before being filmed.
From Rio de Janeiro she is general and artistic director of Cia de Ballet do RJ and runs the Alice Arja Dance School. She is also Curriculum Educational Director at Sanctuary of the Arts and represents Latin America in international dance relations with Miami City Ballet and Brussels International Ballet.
She judges and teaches as a guest at festivals in Brazil and abroad. When you open a lesson plan, you are reading the same structure the teachers at her own school work from.
The modules
For teachers
Objective, materials, sequence and closing game on one page. You read it on the way in and walk into the room knowing exactly what you'll do.
Every exercise is wrapped in a story. That's what makes a three-year-old repeat a plié fifteen times without noticing she is repeating.
Four levels mapped lesson by lesson. Gone is the risk of running in September the same warm-up you already ran in March.
No exercise asks for preparation that age doesn't have yet. You lead knowing the sequence was tested with a real group before it was filmed.
Release the week's lesson to families through a time-limited link. The child practises at home and you begin the next class with a warmed-up group.
At the end of each module the certificate comes out with your school's name and logo — not ours. Unlimited issuing.
