When can my Preschooler start?
Your Preschooler can start at any time of the year! We follow school terms and take enrolments all year round.
What should my child wear to class?
Comfortable clothing and joggers are perfect for the first couple of lessons. Once your child has settled in, we encourage purchasing the official Ready Set Dance uniform, which can be purchased from our Dance Express Office. This creates a sense of belonging for your child.
Can parents watch the classes?
Yes! We encourage all new preschoolers to have their grown up watch their first dance class. This is such a special moment and we want you to experience the magic of our preschool classes! From this first lesson, we work on our separation process. You will be amazed how quickly your child’s independence, resilience and confidence will grow through our independent learning classes.

What if my child is shy or nervous?
It’s completely normal for some children to feel shy at first. Our teachers are very understanding and patient, and we will make sure your child feels supported every step of the way. We’re confident that once they get involved, they’ll have a blast! Warm up your Preschooler to the idea of dance class by setting expectations early. Talk about when you are going, the exciting things they will do, the nice teachers and friends they'll meet. Getting them to help lay out their outfit/uniform the night before can help to build excitement or ease nerves.
