We train smarter, safer early childhood dance teachers.

Ditch the fluff 🗑️

While other programs are playing with parachutes and bubbles, we’ll show you how to actually teach kids to dance.

It’s time to stop winging it 🙅🏽‍♀️

Sometimes an exercise or class goes well, other times it’s chaos 🧐 Inconsistency is a drain, but nothing’s worse than the dreaded feeling of walking into a preschool dance class underprepared, pushing through 40-minutes that feels like eternity, and leaving the studio shattered.

Transforming good dance teachers into excellent dance teachers is what we do best.

Our training, curriculum and resources help dance teachers who LOVE teaching young kids 🫶🏽 dance teachers who are absolutely TERRIFIED of under 6’s 🧟, and dance studio owners with a team full of teachers who “prefer to teach the older students…” 🫠

Do you want to be known for high quality, effective and consistent teaching?

You'll need more than a bunch of exercises, themes, or dances for children to copy.

You need:

🌈 a comprehensive curriculum that supports child development

🌈 teacher training that equips your team to deliver amazing lessons studio-wide

🌈 a flexible program designed to complement your studio values and grow with you

If you want to stand out as the go-to studio in your area, then you need to consistently deliver professional and playful dance lessons that keep kids coming back for more.

With Leap 'N Learn on your side you'll find yourself saying...

We hear about the magic of Leap 'N Learn from:

💜 studio owners seeing their teachers and students thrive in the classroom,

💜 teachers building their skills and confidence when teaching preschool classes, and

💜 parents watching their child's development and confidence soar.

“It used to be painful to fill 45 minutes of instruction for our preschool classes, but by following the Leap ‘N Learn curriculum one hour is not enough time!”

— Jessica Davison, BYPC (Bedford, New Hampshire)

**Leap 'N Learn isn't just a syllabus – it's a teaching method.**

We're SO much more than a bunch of resources or curriculum documents. Leap 'N Learn members get the training, tools, and support they need to revolutionize how they teach dance and build the studio of their dreams.

We're proud to be a part of the magic happening in dance studios across the world, and we'd love to help you too!

Sound good?

Teaching preschool dance classes doesn't have to be hard

You've trained as a dancer for years, but teaching dance is different.

Teaching effective, engaging and educational dance classes begins before you even step into the classroom. It starts with understanding the developmental needs of young children and what makes them tick. When you understand why kids do what they do it's going to unlock a whole new level of joy and ease in your teaching.

Because a 30-45 minute preschool class shouldn't feel like an eternity, or leave you with a sense of dread (don't worry, we've ALL been there! But it doesn't have to be that way).

After 20 years of teaching dance teachers, we know this: when you know how to teach young children, you'll never look back.

Simple steps to preschool dance class success – Part 1: age levels

Your decisions as a dance studio owner matter. This series unpacks the common mistakes I see in preschool dance programs and suggestions for more sustainable alternatives that support dance teachers and dance students, starting with one of the biggest issues – dance classes that have way too many ages in a single class.

Say goodbye to ‘monkey-see, monkey-do’ dance teaching.

Leap ‘N Learn dancers are thinking dancers.

That’s because Leap ‘N Learn teachers are trained to teach excellent dance technique, not just as a grocery list of skills and concepts, but so children understand the underlying principles of movement.

What's the secret?

Time.
Effort.
Intention.
Reflection.
... Education.
 
Whether it’s formalized courses and training, mentoring, shadowing other teachers, reading, research, trial and error, our lived experience... dance teachers are not born amazing.
