drdance Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Help! I am looking for a VERY simple character solo idea/theme/story for a 6 year old - any suggestions?! I'm great at all the abstract older children's ideas but not very good at simple or light hearted! Thanks in anticipation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyelliott Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 My DS was a chimney sweep skipping to work ,spreading out a cloth to cover stuff and jumping to push the brush up the chimney , getting covered in soot and of course getting covered in soot , and of course made a mess and gets a telling off and runs away home !

BlueLou Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The 2 that stick in my head from recent festivals are Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) and Little Miss Muffet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dance*is*life Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) You probably know this already, but at that age the important thing is to keep it simple and not too long. I remember that I choreographed a far too complicated solo for my Primaries (in the days when it was teacher's choreography) and I was very lucky, because the examiner was really kind. She saw I was new to it and she told me that they all got muddled with directions and steps and that though it was a lovely dance, that age needed a simpler one. I did one with a teddy bear for the next lot and it was most successful! Edited May 16, 2016 by Dance*is*life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdance Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I have decided on one, but won't spoil the fun in case she decides later she doesn't like it, but all I can say is that it will involve an interesting costume transformation towards the end (and it's not Ugly Duckling!). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
