No buses. No drop-offs. No additional pressure on educators. Just joyful, professional dance delivered straight to your centre.

Our Story

More than just a dance class

Every element of our preschool movement program is designed to support the whole child — physically, socially and emotionally.

Gross Motor Development

Galloping, tip-toe walking, jumping and jazz movement build strong, coordinated bodies. Our classes give preschoolers the active play they need to grow confident and capable.

Confidence & Joy

Watch shy children blossom. Every Little Shakers class is built to celebrate effort, expression and personality. There is no right or wrong steps, just confident little movers shining bright.

Musicality & Rhythm

Children learn to listen, anticipate beats and move in time with music. Early rhythm exposure supports language development, focus and emotional regulation.

Imaginative Play

From gallop-along ponies to tip-toe tigers, our themed exercises and creative animal adventures spark imagination and storytelling through movement.

EYLF Aligned Activities

Every class supports the Early Years Learning Framework - purposefully linking movement to identity, wellbeing, community, learning and communication outcomes.

Props & Magic Moments

Ribbons, pom poms, wands and glitter sticks transform every class into an adventure. Interactive equipment keeps preschoolers engaged from hello to goodbye.

Three magic moments, every class

Each Little Shakers class blends warm-up rituals, jazz & ballet inspired movement and imaginative play into one unforgettable 30 minutes. Familiar rhythms, fresh adventures every week.

Warm Up

Hello Circle & Wiggle

Name games, feelings check-ins and gentle floor-to-standing movement. A familiar, welcoming start that helps every child feel ready to dance.

Props & Play

Ribbons, Pom Poms & Wands

Tip-toe walks, gallops, spins and creative animal adventures - paired with ribbons, glitter sticks and themed props that turn movement into magic.

Jazz & Bow

Jazz Movement & Goodbye

Shimmies, stomps, claps and jazz walks - then cool-down stretches, a farewell song and a big theatrical bow. Every class ends with a smile.

"Our preschoolers light up the moment Little Shakers arrives. The confidence, the giggles, the way they remember every move — it's transformed our centre's week."

Dance lessons without the dash

We get it — modern parenting is full. Little Shakers takes one thing off the list while still giving your child a premium dance experience.

Time poor

No after-work dashes to dance studios. No carpark stress. Class happens during your child's daycare day they leave with sparkles in their eyes, you skip the traffic.

Juggling siblings & schedules

Working parents with toddlers, school runs and weekend sport already in the calendar, there's simply no room for another commitment. We come to them.

Cost of extracurriculars

$14 per class with a one-off $10 registration fee. No costume fees, no concert ticket fees. Pay by bank transfer or credit card for a half term or full term. One make-up class is given per term, or credited towards the next term.

Wanting more for their child

Parents want their preschoolers building real confidence, coordination and creativity. Little Shakers gives your child the kind of premium dance experience usually reserved for studio kids, with all the joy and none of the juggle.
