Mini Sparks
Mini Sparks are captivating and engaging classes designed specifically for young children ranging from walking age to school age. This class provides a nurturing and playful environment where children can explore the magical world of drama, ignite their imaginations, and develop a love for the performing arts.
​
Mini Sparks enjoy a range of interactive activities, games, and exercises, including playing instruments, parachute games, dressing-up, singing, dance and movement.
​
The classes are carefully structured to capture the attention and curiosity of young minds. Each session begins with warm-up activities that encourage physical movement and imaginative play. This helps children build confidence, develop body awareness, and learn to express themselves through gestures, facial expressions, and simple dance movements.
​
Mini Sparks fosters social interaction and teamwork as children learn to collaborate. They participate in group activities that encourage communication, listening skills, and co-operation.
​
The classes often incorporate age-appropriate songs and music, allowing children to explore rhythm, melody, and vocal expression. They may also include simple props, costumes, and visual elements to enhance the experience and spark the children's imagination.
