Abstract

Abstract This article is about the first part of the artistic development research project called “Hoppsa Universum”. It was carried out in collaboration with the choreographer Anna Källblad 2006-2008. Ninety children from preprimary schools participated by taking part in dance- and movement sessions at the University College of Dance in Stockholm. After the sessions they were interviewed and the results were: The children enjoyed dancing and thought it was fun and felt good about dancing The children preferred running and other loco motor movements The observations were videotaped and analyzed and the result gave new movements ideas as the children performed their own ideas without any instructions. The importance of exploration and improvisation within the class and within the learning process proved to be essential.
