This is a song we wrote in 2019 to help children and grownups remember the core concepts of our body safety programme, Body Smarts Through Movement Arts. We hope singing this super catchy song and moving along will help children and grownups to remember the core body safety rules. And you can shake things up by naming as many body parts as possible – and dance with those body parts too 🙂
Big thanks to Singapore Children’s Society (Kidzlive: I Can Protect Myself) for paving the way for body safety education here in Singapore and for inspiring the song. With support by National Arts Council
This is the second course in the Body Smarts Through Movement Arts series and will be released by June 2022.
After establishing that our bodies belong to us in Course 1: Body Ownership, we will delve into the topic of Body Boundaries in this Course 2. As parents, there are different ways we think about boundaries as we parent and nurture our children. In this course, we look specifically at how we can use the concept of boundaries to teach our children about safety and respect. Within the course, we will also provide tips on how to address this age-appropriately.
The videos contain short lectures and demonstrations, while the downloadable files provide a brief overview and additional notes. Included are movement-based activities you can be doing with your child to learn and practice body boundaries.
During the course, you can leave questions for us, or go anytime to the Forum page to start a conversation about Body Ownership.

Designed for children aged 4 to 6, Dance Playground explores dance and movement through unusual play structures to develop creativity and body confidence. The classes allow children to independently express their thoughts and learn about body awareness through exploring and performing movement safely and freely.
They will learn and respect that everyone is unique and that there is no one right way to dance. There are also no exams after each term. Children are encouraged to present their work or perform at an annual recital instead, which will further build self-assurance and confidence.
Intimate class sizes ensures maximum participation and interaction. 2-week trial and special rates for packages are available. Children who have attended 10 package classes are automatically enrolled into our VIP Programme.
