More and more, daycare centers and all-day schools are focusing on artistic activities and want to provide their charges with targeted support in the areas of singing, theater, and dance. This practical book offers a wide range of methods for developing and implementing small and large dance stories, choreographies, and dance theater pieces with children aged 4 to 14 years. It presents both opportunities for the dance adaptation of existing and well-known picture books and introduces new, short stories for movement activities with children from 4 years old. Additionally, there are detailed instructions for larger dance theater pieces with children and adolescents up to 14 years old on specific thematic content, explained through concrete examples in each individual step, making it easy to integrate into one's own teaching.
