WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?
Magic Movers sessions are fun, relaxed and last around 30 minutes.  They take the form of simple movement sequences, action songs, dances and games.  A core of familiar material is used to open and close each session as repetition is important for young children.  The middle section will focus on a variety of movement themes and may include some or all of the following:  UP & DOWN;   CRAWL, WALK & RUN;   HOP, JUMP & MARCH; SWAY, TURN & SHAKE;   OPEN & CLOSE;   BODY PERCUSSION; BEND & BOUNCE;     ANIMAL SHAPES & SOUNDS. 

WHAT AGE GROUP IS MAGIC MOVERS FOR?
The sessions are ideally suited to children aged 2-5.  However older or younger siblings are also welcome. Tiny babies can be carried in a sling and love to feel the rhythmical movement of the parent’s body.

DO YOU GO INTO SCHOOLS, PRE-SCHOOLS AND TODDLER GROUPS?
Yes.  Check out our “Class Finder” page to find out which nurseries and pre-schools currently host Magic Movers.  Our sessions are also highly effective for Reception Year children.  If you would like more details or to arrange a Trial Session for your group or business, please email us or call 01983 864416  Sessions can be booked individually, or you can choose to have regular classes on a weekly, 2 weekly, monthly or termly basis.  Session content can be adapted to reflect and reinforce topics being covered elsewhere in the curriculum.

IS MAGIC MOVERS SUITED TO BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS?
Definitely.  The themes and movement sequences we use can be equally enjoyed by both boy and girls. 

WILL MY CHILD JOIN IN STRAIGHT AWAY?
Some children join in fully the first time.  Others can take several sessions before this happens.  The main thing is not to worry and let your child take things at their own pace.  Our classes are fun, flexible and full of encouragement and praise for all the children, whether they choose to participate throughout or not. 

DO YOU HAVE MUSIC?
Yes – music is very important to us. Every session will feature our original songs and dances which you will not find anywhere else! We also have some music free activities and body percussion games.

DO YOU USE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS?
Not usually.  Although each session features one or two “sitting down dances” we do not use instruments simply because there are already some excellent pre-school music classes available on the Island and we prefer to offer something different.  With us, the movement is the main thing. 

DO THE ADULTS JOIN IN?
Magic Movers is designed for adults and children to participate together.  The benefit children derive from movement activities with an adult role model is enormous.  Magic Movers is an opportunity to have fun, quality time. If you have mobility problems that would prevent you from participating fully in the session, just let the session leader know and adaptations can be made to the programme.

I AM NOT VERY FIT – DOES THAT MATTER?
No, not at all.  You do not have to be fit to enjoy Magic Movers with your child. You can participate within your own abilities and your child will love it.  If your aim is to improve your own fitness level through Magic Movers then just let the session leader know.

DO I NEED TO BOOK?
It is advisable.  We limit the size of our classes, so to be sure of your place, give us a call or email us.

DO YOU DO PARTIES?
Yes we do.  From £25 you can have a simple 30 minute Magic Movers session to enhance your child’s party celebrations.  If you are looking for the complete 2 hour entertainment package then visit our sister site www.iowpartykids.co.uk
