Write Dance is an approach and a
method that provides movement opportunities so children can develop the
physical skills needed to develop their handwriting skills. The movement is
driven by the music and the underlying principle is enjoyment to build
confidence.
Ragnhild
Oussoren first developed the Write Dance approach when working as a
graphologist in The Netherlands. The unique aspect of the programme is
the use of music and dance to develop coordination, balance, confidence
and develop the ability to cross the mid line. Children’s individual expression,
pace of learning and writing style are recognised within this approach.
It is apparent that children’s confidence, motivation and self-esteem can be
seen to develop because as Ragnhild says, “Everything in Write Dance is
right”.
