So Ruby and I have been to three classes now and one thing
remains the same. She looooooooooooves the mirror! Alas she has my genes.
Another thing is that my daughter loves to be the center of attention and if
that means she never sits the entire class and runs into the center of the
circle in this class it’s “all good!”
Thank God because I was sort of fumbling
around trying to chase her and the teachers are so kind they just let each
child do whatever feels good. I am thrilled to say with each passing week Ruby
is remembering the songs and that is partially because each student has access to the music for the
session on the Jelly Bean Jamz download link through the ITUNES store..
She
gets excited when they are played and waves her scarf or instrument of choice
high up in the air. It’s amazing to watch your kids do things you’ve never
seen. I didn’t know she could snap to the beat with her tiny fingers. She can’t
yet make the snapping sound but she clicks with her mouth to compensate which
is hilarious multi tasking. I just love this class and the parents all get a
cardio dance work out too. The variations of activities never leave a dull
moment for the parents or kids.
Some other classes I’ve tried seemed a bit
boring with too much of one thing. Jelly Bean Jamz is all about variations of
fun. The cool thing is, each activity has a learning basis to it based on
specific research of how to teach kids musical skills. So it may seem simple,
but it’s setting them up to be the future dance/song kings and queens we know
they will be. Hey maybe Ruby is the next “Micheal Jackson”? Well he had to
start somewhere. I bet he wished he had Jelly Bean Jamz as a toddler!
I found out that my older daughter is also
eligible for classes as well. There are lots of different age groups and
classes and they are all kept nice and small so each child gets lots of teacher
attention. I wish I could take our teacher home because she’s the only one you
can keep my child still!
