About Blueberries
Blueberries is a mums and bubs dance, music and drama program for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. Each Blueberries class is designed to develop skills in rhythm, coordination, strength and flexibility in movement. Blueberries will develop your childs ability to take direction and cultivate personality & social skills. A major focus at Blueberries is to nurture and strengthen each childs confidence and self-esteem. The program includes three styles of dance, Jazz, Ballet & Funk, the use of musical instruments, musical rhythms, and singing. Every term has a theme and is educational and children are encouraged to exercise their imagination in drama and improvisation activities.
Testimonial
'My reared-at-home daughter was 3.5 years old but not talking, not engaging, and very much in her own little world, when we first encountered Blueberries. We knew she was merely a late developer, but it was clear she needed some sort of extra stimulation. We have now spent a year doing 3 - 4 year old dance and music with both Julie and Cee-Cee, and she has blossomed so much with the exposure. She began to engage more with other children, and adults she did not know, and grew strongly into her little body when she had previously been physically under-confident. Her love for music gained an outlet and she has developed beautifully there, as both singer and musician. We can actually see it emerging from her, and it's obvious Blueberries has been the catalyst. It has also been great fun for me, a good work out, and a chance to make some lovely new friends. We are so happy with Blueberries. Thank you so much.'
History
An extensive background in teaching dance through the British Ballet Organisation (BBO) over 10 years has inspired Julie Scheer to design a new program for children aged 21 months to 5 years of age. Blueberries has now been operating over four years successfully in Canberra providing over 20 classes a week in five different locations. Blueberries is among one of the most trusted and recommended mums and bubs programs in the ACT. Each class at Blueberries not only provides dance tuition but components of music and drama in a fun and nurturing environment.
