Tiny Stars

Ages: 18 months – 3 years | Parent/Guardian Participation

​

Our Tiny Stars class is a magical first step into the world of dance — specially designed for toddlers to explore movement, music, and creativity in a fun and nurturing environment. With the comfort and encouragement of a parent or guardian participating alongside, this class is a wonderful bonding experience as your little one gains confidence and discovers the joy of dancing.

​

Each session is filled with imaginative themes and engaging activities using props like scarves, ribbons, instruments, and soft toys to spark curiosity and encourage playful learning. We focus on developing key early skills such as balance, rhythm, coordination, listening, and social interaction, all through age-appropriate movement and lots of fun!

​

Whether it's tiptoeing like fairies, stomping like dinosaurs, or twirling with scarves to music, Tiny Stars is a joyful introduction to dance that supports physical development and self-expression — all while creating happy memories and laying the foundation for a lifelong love of movement.

Rising Stars

Ages: 3 – 4 years

​

Our Rising Stars class is the next exciting step where young dancers begin to shine more independently while still enjoying the comfort of having a parent or guardian close by. It builds on the foundations developed in Tiny Stars, helping young dancers grow in independence, confidence, and creativity, and a little more structure.

 

Using imaginative themes, music, and movement, children begin to explore basic dance technique while developing key skills like coordination, rhythm, balance, focus, listening and expression, whilst having a blast! We continue to use fun props such as ribbons, scarves, and musical instruments to inspire imagination and keep little feet moving.

​

Parent and guardian participation is still welcomed, though many Rising Stars begin to feel confident enough to join in independently as they become more familiar with the class environment. It’s a wonderful next step in your child’s dance journey nurturing their social skills, creative expression — full of fun, learning and growing together!

Shooting Stars

Ages: 4 – 5 years

​

Our Shooting Stars class is the final step in our preschool dance journey — designed to support children as they grow in confidence, independence, and readiness for our Upper School classes. Dancers continue to develop their technique, musicality, and creative movement through fun, structured sessions that encourage expression, discipline, and focus.

​

At this stage, we also introduce Tap Dance, where children begin learning to make rhythmic sounds with their feet, helping to improve timing, coordination, and balance in a playful and engaging way.

​

Parents/guardians are still welcome in the room, but are encouraged to sit and watch as your Shooting Star builds the confidence to dance independently. Most children at this age are more than ready to shine on their own, making this class a perfect stepping stone to our Upper School programme.

​

Additionally, at age 4+, children can join our Acrobatics classes — perfect for little ones who can’t keep still and love to be upside down! In these exciting sessions, they’ll learn to cartwheel, roll, handstand, and more, while developing strength, balance, and flexibility.
Please note: Acrobatics students are required to enter class independently.
