Two new developmental programmes will be launched in the first week of October at the new Helen O’Grady Academy headquarters in Attard.

Dance at HOG will be targeting students on a number of levels, including physical development, social awareness and emotional maturity. 

“Dance is a primal part of the human experience and transcends cultures and time periods like no other art form, so we put our heads together to come up with a programme that works,” said teacher and choreographer Emma Loftus.

Classes are expected to provide a structured outlet for a healthy physical and emotional release that assists emotional maturity.

A second programme, named little + Large, has been developed specifically for young children aged 1 and 2, and their mum or dad, or guardian.

"The Helen O’Grady Academy Kindy programme for pre-schoolers is very popular and parents have been asking us to come up with a development programme for children as young as one”, explained academy principal, Alan Montanaro. 

“Although the little+Large programme is independent of the academy, parents can expect the same level of excellence that they associate with Helen O’Grady."

This unique programme will have a wealth of educational activities focusing largely on motor skills, rhythm, sensory play, self-exploration, and interaction for the very young.

Themed classes will cover a range of activities for the very young including story-telling, song, games, movement, language development and much more.
