Ragnhild Oussoren’s Write Dance approach is an exciting music and dance approach to develop the skills needed for writing. Write Dance provides movement opportunities so children can develop the physical skills needed to develop their handwriting skills. The movement is driven by the music and the underlying principle is enjoyment to build confidence.
Diana Strauss and Nicole Barrons created this Write Dance Training website to support teachers, practitioners, parents, and therapists to implement the approach across a wide range of settings. We provide pre-recorded training and all details can be found on our training page https://writedancetraining.com/training/
The Write Dance books in 3rd edition come with a companion website. This is where you will find the music and songs. You can also see video clips of the children moving and mark making.
