We're on the road again - this time in Kent delivering Every Child Active training with @Active_Kent

What would help you feel more confident getting children active? Better planning/CPD? Ideas for adapting activities? Something quick when time is tight? The goal isn’t to make every teacher a PE specialist. It’s to help more staff feel confident getting children moving.

[imoves @imovesactive]

One dance lesson. Lots of abilities & confidence levels. That’s the reality in primary schools.

Knowing when to simplify, support or challenge can make a big difference - and it’s something we focus on in our Teaching Primary Dance with Confidence course

[imoves @imovesactive]

Primary Dance can feel daunting if it’s not your specialist area.

Our resources give teachers a clear starting point with lesson plans, music, demos & guidance.

No need to be a dancer yourself - with practical support to get children moving, creating & enjoying Dance

[imoves @imovesactive]

Before spending your PE & Sport Premium, ask:

Where do staff need support?
Who isn’t active enough?
How will we know it worked?
Will the impact still be there next year?

Good investment starts with what children and staff actually need - not just a shopping list.

[imoves @imovesactive]

One of the best things about primary dance is seeing children’s imaginations come to life through movement.

It’s not just about learning steps - it’s storytelling, creativity and giving children space to express themselves.

Lovely to see that reflected in recent course feedback

[imoves @imovesactive]

Children moving.
Laughing.
Joining in.
Learning in a different way.

Sometimes it’s PE. Sometimes dance. Sometimes five minutes between lessons.

More movement.
More moments like this.

[imoves @imovesactive]

We were out delivering PE CPD with schools last term, helping teachers feel more confident about delivering high-quality PE.

Lovely to hear this feedback after a recent session - easier planning, engaging activities and positive responses from teachers and children.

[imoves @imovesactive]

Confidence makes a huge difference when teaching primary dance.

That’s exactly what we want teachers to take away from our Teaching Primary Dance with Confidence course.

Lovely feedback from a teacher who recently completed the online training.

There’s always something happening in school.

We've got resources to support Remembrance Day, World Nursery Rhyme Week, Anti-Bullying Week & Maths Week.

For Maths Week, we’ve added 4 Active Maths lesson starters into our Teacher Sub!

More movement.
Less scrambling for ideas.

[imoves @imovesactive]

Primary School teachers - you don’t need to be a dancer to teach dance well.

Start with 5 things:

🔵Music + beat
🔵Simple movement
🔵A theme
🔵A clear teaching approach
🔵Progression

You don’t need hundreds of moves. Just enough structure to feel confident getting started.

[imoves @imovesactive]

Sometimes the class doesn’t need another instruction.

They need a reset.

Active Blasts are short, ready-to-use movement breaks for after lunch, between lessons or whenever focus disappears.

Now included in the Teacher Sub:

Have you seen our new Active Assemblies yet?

Ready-made slides, simple activities and clear messages to bring movement, wellbeing and healthy habits into whole-school time.

If you’re already an imoves member, they’re ready to use on the platform.

[imoves @imovesactive]

“imoves helps those who are unsure to give ideas and inspiration.”

A lovely recent Trustpilot review from Matt, whose school uses imoves every week for Dance from Nursery upwards.

Exactly what we want: a clear starting point that helps teachers feel more confident.

[imoves @imovesactive]

Teaching mixed-age PE?
You don’t need 3 separate lessons.

Start with one shared learning goal, then adapt the space, equipment and challenge to suit the children in front of you.

One focus. Different levels of challenge.

Need help?
Drop us a message and we can arrange a call

[imoves @imovesactive]

Not every classroom reset needs more energy.

Sometimes children need to slow down, breathe, stretch and settle.

On World Mental Health Day, a reminder that movement can support regulation too — not just activity.

[imoves @imovesactive]

Active Learning isn’t about turning every lesson into PE.

It’s about using movement to help children engage, remember and refocus.

More Active Learning is now included in the imoves Teacher Sub.

“I’m not a dancer.”

You don’t need to be.

Primary dance starts with a few simple building blocks: music, movement, a theme, a clear teaching approach and progression.

That’s what Teaching Primary Dance with Confidence is built around.

It’s World Teachers’ Day.

To the teachers juggling planning, behaviour, assessment, meetings, clubs, emails — and still finding ways to make the day work for every child:

Thank you from all of us at imoves.

[imoves @imovesactive]

A few minutes of movement can do more than burn off energy.

This teacher has found Active Blasts help children take a break from sitting, refocus, support behaviour and enjoy doing something together.
