This unit harnesses Reception students' natural fascination with toys to develop creative movement and early choreographic skills through imaginative play. The toy theme provides familiar, accessible starting points that encourage confident self-expression whilst building fundamental dance concepts like levels, travelling, and working with others. Through progressive exploration from individual creativity to collaborative performance, students develop both physical skills and the confidence to share their artistic ideas.
