preschool dance

Course Information

This playful introduction to dance and movement is designed especially for young movers! Each week, children will explore music, rhythm, and movement through fun themes and imaginative activities. With a focus on creativity and coordination, little dancers will build confidence, express themselves, and discover the joy of moving their bodies.


What to Expect

  • Welcoming Circle: Songs and stretches to start class together.
  • Movement Exploration: Marching, hopping, skipping, tiptoeing, and dancing across the room.
  • Themed Adventures: Each week has a fun focus—animals, the ocean, shapes, weather, transportation, and more! Props like scarves, ribbons, and shakers bring the themes to life.
  • Skill Building: Children will practice balance, coordination, and rhythm in a playful way.
  • They will learn spatial awareness, while developing memory and sequencing.
  • Cool Down: Gentle stretches, calming music, and sharing their favourite moments before saying goodbye.


By the end of the session, children will have grown in coordination, imagination, and

self-expression—while having lots of fun!


Please bring your little one dressed in comfortable gym clothing that allows for movement, and bring a water bottle.   To ensure a smooth class for everyone, dancers must be reliably potty trained prior to registering for class. Parents/guardians are encouraged to drop their child off for the sessions to help foster independence and lessen class distractions.
