Magic Movers is the original creation of Kay Oulds and Kevin Chance – a husband and wife team based in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.   When Kay’s daughter Harriet was small, they discovered that whilst a rich selection of children’s activities was available locally, there was less opportunity for small children and adults to get active together in a group environment.  A conversation with one of the local Children’s Centres confirmed this gap in provision and so in 2006 the idea of Magic Movers was born!  Now we currently visit several local pre-schools on a regular basis and run independent sessions in Newport.  We are gradually increasing our venues to give comprehensive Island wide coverage.

KAY OULDS		KEVIN CHANCE
Kay is the session leader for Magic Movers and the originator of all the movement content.  She has a B.A.(Hons.) degree in Creative Arts – Dance & Drama and has also studied Health Related Exercise for Children, Anatomy and Physiology.  Kay is always updating her underpinning knowledge and gradually introduces new material to keep the sessions enjoyable.  She is always happy to discuss the rationale behind the content of Magic Movers and can devise, adapt and modify the sessions to cater for children with special physical needs.  Kay has an enhanced CRB certificate and full public liability insurance.		Kevin is a professional musician with 20 years’ experience.  He composes and records all the original music featured within Magic Movers sessions.  The music and songs are designed to enhance the movement experience and to harness the imagination.  Kevin’s music engages children with a wide range of sounds, tempos and rhythm patterns.  Inspiration comes from the children themselves, their interests, games, toys and the world around them as well as focusing on specific learning outcomes such as counting and enhancing vocabulary.  He aims to make the tunes happy, easy to remember and fun to dance to!
