Children's Class Weekly Re-Cap, Week of Aug 5, 2024
Lil’ Leopards
Last week in Lil’ Leopards we challenged the students with an obstacle course! Obstacle courses are an exciting way to incorporate several drills all into one, while also keeping the students constantly moving. Breakfalls, blocks, kicks and crane stance were a few of the techniques that were included, along with the class favourite, the balance beam!
Tiny Tigers
In the Tiny Tigers classes last week we focused on reaction time and accuracy. The students were challenged to react as quickly as they could by striking moving targets and blocking incoming strikes. We also worked a little bit on our dragon dancing!
Young Dragons
In our Young Dragon’s classes this past week we worked on bringing our lions to life. The most successful lion dancers are those that are able to capture the imagination of the audience and make them forget there are people inside. In order to do this, the lion needs to be doing regular “life-like” things that are recognizable to the audience. Conveying happiness, sadness or excitement are some of the things we practiced, along with recognizable behaviors like yawning and sneezing.
