In-person preschool dance teacher training

A full-day, in-person workshop to stop the hate for teaching under 8’s.

🧭 Do the teachers on your preschool, prep or petite’s classes need a little more training and guidance?

🫠 Is your team filled with teachers who “prefer to teach the older students”

🫶🏽 Are you looking for advice and practical strategies to support diverse learners?

🪄 Does your class content feel like it needs a little refresh?

This 1-day in-person workshop gives dance teachers the ‘what’, the ‘how’, and the ‘why’ of effective and engaging early childhood dance teaching.

Get the knowledge, strategies and confidence you need to thrive when teaching under 8’s.

“Teaching a 30-45 minute preschool dance class shouldn’t feel like an eternity... or leave you questioning your life choices. ”

— Dr. Elena Lambrinos (yep, I've been there 💀 and Leap 'N Learn was the solution 🪄)

We help make preschool dance teaching magical, not stressful.

In this 1-day workshop, you’ll learn:

📓 the role of psychological, developmental and educational theories in planning and delivering effective, exciting dance classes

📙 why age-appropriate teaching is important and what it looks like in different stages and developmental areas (it’s more than just music and costume choices)

📕 why engagement matters to learning and what it actually looks like (PS: it’ not bubbles, a parachute, or the Sleepy Bunny song)

📘 our go-to, inclusive strategies for supporting students to stay on task, learn, grow, and have a blast!

📗 technique exercises and creative movement activities for 3 to 6 year olds that you can implement in your classes right away

Walk out of the workshop with new insights and the tools you need to make teaching early childhood dance classes the highlight of your week.
