Journey to Calm

For this emotional warm-up, we’re using a Guided Meditation session to help students focus and be present. In this practice, students are gently led through calming verbal instructions to relax and centre themselves, which can ease anxiety, boost concentration, and set a positive tone for the lesson.

1. Have students sit comfortably with a straight posture and feet firmly on the floor.

2. Ask them to close their eyes and rest their hands on their knees or in their laps.

3. Guide them to take several deep breaths, inhaling slowly through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Repeat this process three times.

4. Encourage students to concentrate on their breathing, feeling the air flow in and out, and to envision it as a soft light bringing a sense of calm.

5. Describe a peaceful scene, such as strolling through a field of wildflowers or walking along a quiet lakeshore, detailing the gentle sounds, pleasant scents, and overall serenity.

6. After a few minutes, invite the students to gradually open their eyes while holding onto that feeling of calm.

7. Finish by thanking the class for their participation and discussing how maintaining this relaxed state can benefit them throughout the lesson.

Kontekstualisasi Konten

Dance is a potent form of artistic expression found in communities around the globe. It not only provides a way to convey emotions and tell stories but also connects us to one another and to our cultural heritage. By exploring different dance styles, we can better understand the feelings and traditions they encapsulate, thereby enhancing our social awareness and respect for cultural diversity.

Additionally, dance serves as a valuable tool for developing socio-emotional skills. Through the exploration and appreciation of various dance forms, students learn to recognize and express their own emotions, collaborate in groups, and make thoughtful choices about movement and expression. This process not only helps build social skills but also encourages self-awareness and the regulation of one’s emotions.
