Once students have an understanding of the beat and have been experiencing it in creative movement and choreographed movement, the use of locked hips in a tick tock motion is a great way of developing the ability to feel the beat while performing the rhythm….from as early as Prep!

Establishing beautifulness in students is at the heart of the understanding of rhythm.
The kinaesthetic experience of beat must come first and can be done initially by tapping body parts and then moving to a tick tock pendulum movement as demonstrated by Ruth in this short video.​
