Give your child the magic of dance.
The Hills Dance Factory offers our younger students a fabulous preschooler program called READY SET DANCE. We are an official location for this program which is run in over 100 dance studios across Australia and New Zealand.
This is a one hour combo class that includes Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Singing, Music and a whole lot of FUN for both girls & boys. Our classes are designed to give boys and girls CONFIDENCE, COORDINATION & CREATIVITY in a safe, professional environment. With a major emphasis on FUN, our classes will be the highlight of your child’s week. We are sure you will agree that our Ready Set Dance classes are the best introduction to dance for preschoolers.
Ready Set Dance and leading children’s entertainment brand and television network, Nickelodeon Australia, have joined forces to produce a daily television programme for pre-schoolers also titled READY SET DANCE.
Ready Set Dance airs as a 2-hour programming block on Nick Jr. (Nickelodeon’s pre-school channel) every day from 10am. This block features some of Nickelodeon’s most popular pre-school series including PAW Patrol, Shimmer & Shine and Dora The Explorer. Nick Jr. is available on Foxtel and Fetch.
Our classes will be the highlight of your childs week.
Learn & Grow
Our classes teach preschoolers to follow direction and remember instructions. The program also advances motor skills, develops musicality and boosts confidence. Little dancers LEARN and GROW in a positive and safe environment.
Have Fun
Visiting our classes will be your child’s favourite time of the week. The program is bursting with colour, imagination and FUN! Preschoolers have a smile on their face from their first shake of the parachute to their sticker time reward.
Make New Friends
Dance Together Friends Forever! Preschoolers learn to be a part of a TEAM and enjoy social interaction with other little dancers.
We Cater For Boys
The program is designed with a focus on making it appealing to both girls and boys. Preschoolers can relate to the song themes which are not gender specific and have key instructions to respond to. The steps, music as well as our mascots ‘Twirl’ and ‘Freeze’ represent our aim to deliver a syllabus that caters for boys as much as girls.
Child Safety
Our classes are held in professional facilities. Our instructors are carefully selected for their experience and nurturing personalities and all have their Working With Children Checks. Our classes are closely monitored by experienced studio owners using risk management strategies like viewing windows or CCTV.
Dance For Life
This means your child will not only be on the right path for their dancing journey but they will also make friendships that often last right through to adulthood. With so much uncertainty surrounding the school transition year, it’s nice to know that you don’t have to change dance studios. Dance Together Friends Forever!
give READY SET DANCE a try
We offer an obligation free first class so you can try the program before you need to commit to attending the studio. As mentioned we do need to collect your details however there are no problems (or charges) if you decide after this first class it is not for your child.
Our kids just love...
There is no denying that preschoolers these days are cool. The READY, SET DANCE program is specifically designed to appeal to both boys and girls. Each lesson involves SINGING time on the microphone. Our little divas and rock stars just love to take their turn on their microphone and sing with their puppets. It’s very rewarding to see some of our shy students gradually gain confidence and sing individually on the microphone and introduce themselves to the class.
They love to bust out HIP HOP moves. We have developed our very own hip hop songs like the ‘Ice Cream Freeze’ and ‘Hip Hop Italiano’ that our dancers absolutely love learning. Our music section has a strong emphasis on counting music, understanding tempo and exploring rhythm. We love to use musical instruments and parachutes to have fun learning music as a team.
The JAZZ component of the class teaches preschoolers important developmental milestones like skipping, cross co-ordination and sequencing.
We know that the secret to learning TAP is to start early – It’s just like learning a language. That’s why it’s an important ingredient in our class. Our songs like the ‘Gumboot Splash’, ‘Jungle Bug Squish’ and the ‘Penguin Parade’ are fun exercises that teach us how to use our heels, toes and to learn how to shuffle. All these ingredients together create a super hour of fun!
