Minute Masterclass Episode 226

Welcome to your one-minute masterclass. I’m Andrea Trench. If you enjoy our minute masterclasses, consider continuing your professional development as a student in our Foundations Course for Early Childhood Dance Educators and as a member of our DiscoverDance Experience online community. You can learn more about both of these opportunities at DiscoverDance.com.

This week we are closing our prop series with where I like to shop for props.

 First up, is Bear Paw Creek. We teamed up with Bear Paw Creek in 2018 to make a DiscoverDance prop collection. In that collection, we have our giant connect-a-stretchy band, scarves, bean bags, ribbon rings, and balloon balls all in the DiscoverDance colors. I also love their 9 foot canopy scarf and small play parachute. You can find all their prop options at musicandmovementproducts.com.

 My next go-to shop is S&S Worldwide. Their quality of products is excellent and many of my props from there have lasted well over a decade. I use their 1 inch floor marking tape to create our train track and personal space tape marks, their 10” poly spots, agility hoops, rhythm sticks, and soft dome cones. You can find all their prop and craft options at ssww.com.

 Lastly, Amazon. You can visit the DiscoverDance Amazon shop at amazon.com/shop/discoverdanceeducation to see a list of props, books, and camp supplies I recommend. From our inflatable campfire, to our balance beam, shaker eggs, pop tubes, and more, you’ll find a ton of what I use in my classes on Amazon.
