Saturday classes at Bedford academy 

Melody Bear Ballet

Melody Bear Ballet introduces children to dance and movement using the natural actions of the body such as running, walking, jumping, hopping, skipping and galloping. It is structured to aid children's physical development, co-ordination, spatial awareness, sensory development and self expression. Children learn to work individually, with a partner and as a group.

First Ballet & Tap 

First Ballet is the follow on syllabus to Melody Movement introducing simple ballet techniques within the creative and nurturing environment of Melody Bear's world. In addition to a variety of set exercises, creativity is explored with dances based on fairy stories dancing as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel.

Foundation Ballet & Tap 

Foundation Ballet is an exciting and imaginative ballet class for girls and boys. It is a consolidation of Melody Movement and First Ballet, culminating in the Foundation Ballet Graduation Ceremony. The ceremony is conducted by the teacher and performed to an audience of invited parents, friends and family. In addition to a series of prepared skill based exercises, the syllabus includes new and original creative themes as the children join Melody Bear on a journey across the world and dance the Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish dances. Additional creative themes include Melody Bear's hobbies as she walks her puppy, rides a horse, collects bugs, and tries ice skating.

Children also develop tap techniques.
