Those chubby little toes tapping in the kitchen? The impromptu twirls during Bluey’s theme song? If your tiny human can’t resist a beat, dance might be the perfect next step. But how do you know when they’re truly ready—and where to find a class that’s safe, social, and downright fun (for you, too)? Below we break down the tell-tale signs, plus why our brand-new Dance With Me program on Tuesday mornings could be the sweetest part of your week.

1. They’re confidently walking—and climbing!

Once toddlers are steady on their feet, guided movement boosts coordination and spatial awareness. Our class channels that boundless energy into age-appropriate activities (think animal walks and scarf dances) that strengthen gross-motor skills.

2. Music makes their eyes light up

From nursery rhymes to your car-ride playlist, rhythm sparks joy. Structured dance introduces patterns and dynamics, building early musicality and memory.

3. Copy-cat mode is in full swing

When your toddler mirrors Dad’s silly victory dance, they’re ready for simple choreography. We keep combos short, repeating them with colourful props so little brains (and bodies) succeed quickly.

4. You’d love a weekly social outing

Stay-at-home parents often crave community as much as kids do. Dance With Me creates a low-pressure playdate where grown-ups join the circle, meet other families, and share the giggles.

5. Boundless energy by 10 am?

Our 30-minute class slots perfectly between brekkie and nap time—burning off wiggles so midday rest actually happens (you’re welcome 😉).

6. They respond to routine

Toddlers thrive on predictable patterns. A weekly class adds structure, teaching turn-taking, listening, and “pack-up” cues that transfer to daycare and home life.

7. You value quality time—screens off, hearts on

Dance With Me lets you move together, building trust, self-confidence, and the sweetest memories. No pressure to perform; just connection through movement.
