"Physie" teaches a
choreographed syllabus of exercise, dance and fitness routines.
All choreography is
designed to develop:
- strength
- good posture
- fitness
- flexibility
- balance
- co-ordination
- self-discipline
Because the routines are
done to music, the students learn the relationship of movement to music,
musical interpretation and rhythm.
Other benefits are
development of the following skills, which assist with academic achievement:
- body geography
- spatial awareness
- concentration
- sequencing
- fine and gross motor
skills
- left/right
discrimination
- listening skills
- memory
- teamwork.
Learning "physie" improves
confidence, develops a sense of achievement and helps to build self-esteem.
And best of all … it’s fun!
