Frequently Asked Questions
Who can do Little Dancer classes?
Ideal for both boys and girls, Little Dancers will appeal to any child who loves music and loves to move. Try classes before committing long term and invest in a three week class trial. You can even ask a friend to join you, making it more fun for you and the kids!
When can my child start Little Dancer classes?
We like our Little Dancers to be two and a half years of age before starting. This makes it more enjoyable for them, the other students, and their parents or carers. You can feel reassured that our teachers are experienced at delivering classes to this age group (they love it!) and will take very good care to introduce all the fundamental dance concepts to your child in a fun and imaginative way.
What is Ready Set Dance?
Ready Set Dance is an innovative preschool program designed for children aged 1–5 years, offering a playful introduction to the world of dance. The curriculum takes a responsive approach to the curiosity and imagination of young learners, creating a joyful and engaging environment. Endorsed by early learning experts, the program supports children’s physical and emotional development while fostering positive attitudes toward learning. It emphasizes three key pillars:
- Confidence: Building self-esteem and belief in their abilities.
- Coordination: Enhancing motor skills through fun, structured activities.
- Creativity: Encouraging self-expression through imaginative play and movement.
With Ready Set Dance, your child will thrive as they explore the magic of dance in a nurturing and dynamic setting.
I’ve heard dance classes can be expensive? Is that true?
There are so many choices for extracurricular activities, it is difficult for parents to decide what is right for their child. We recommend focusing your efforts and time, rather than trying too many activities, which can become overwhelming for your child. Our approach to learning dance is holistic. We focus on the student as a whole (yes, even our Little Dancers), encouraging them to grow in physical skills, as well as personal and social confidence too. An investment in your Little Dancer will yield so much more than dance.
Who teaches the Little Dancers?
We are proud of our passionate and talented dance teachers, having taken great care in their selection. All our teachers have danced most of their lives. In fact, most started dancing at a very young age and have then gone on to further training, teaching, and performance. They truly understand and appreciate how dance enriches the lives of their students beyond the development of dance skills. All our teachers are trained in child protection, CPR and First Aid. We love watching our Little Dancers flourish – and you will too. Learn more about our teachers here.
