What sets Ready Set Dance apart from other UK preschool programmes
Built for existing dance schools
Not a franchise to start from scratch. RSD bolts on to your existing school — no territory fees, no territory restrictions.
Multi-style, not just ballet
Ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, and music — the only UK preschool programme covering every style in one curriculum.
A proper teacher app
Lesson plans, music, and class videos in one place. No other UK preschool programme has a dedicated teacher tech platform.
Nickelodeon TV partnership
The only preschool dance programme in the world with its own Nick Jr television series. Children already know — and love — the content.
Sound familiar?
Preschool classes shouldn't feel this hard.
Whether you're already running preschool classes or planning to launch them, these are the challenges UK dance teachers tell us about every day.
Endless hours planning lessons
Spending your evenings building class plans from scratch — time that should be going into your school, your family, or simply resting.
Preschool registers that won't fill
Struggling to attract and keep under-5s when you're competing with nurseries, soft play, and toddler groups around every corner.
Music that doesn't excite children
Generic background tracks that don't captivate toddlers — or impress the parents sitting and watching through the window.
Quality that depends on one teacher
Classes that rise and fall with whoever is teaching that week. No structure, no consistency, and families who quietly don't come back.

Early years curriculum
Designed around how children actually learn.
Ready Set Dance is developed alongside early childhood specialists and informed by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework — the same developmental structure that guides every nursery and primary school in England.
That means every song, every movement, and every skill sequence in our curriculum is doing more than teaching dance. It's building the foundations children need before they even start school.
A programme for every preschooler
Not just ballet.The complete early years curriculum.
The only UK preschool programme covering ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, and music — choose the styles that suit your school and your families.

Created by dance teachers, for dance teachers
Built because we couldn't find it.
Ready Set Dance was founded in 2015 by Natalie, Belinda, and Priscilla — experienced dance teachers and school owners who built this programme for their own schools because nothing on the market was good enough.
"There was a gap in the market for a programme that would genuinely captivate the preschooler of today — and appeal equally to girls and boys."
The success of the programme led to a partnership with Nickelodeon, transforming the class content into a television series now airing on Nick Jr, 10 Shake, and Paramount Plus — making Ready Set Dance the only preschool dance programme in the world with its own dedicated TV show.
"We built Ready Set Dance because we couldn't find what we needed for our own preschool classes. Ten years and 480+ schools later, it's in dance schools across the world — and now we're bringing it to the UK."
Simple to get started
From enquiry to first class in weeks.
We've kept joining Ready Set Dance as straightforward as possible.
Most UK dance schools are up and running within a few weeks of signing.
Questions we hear from UK dance teachers
Thinking it through?Here are the honest answers.
We're primarily a ballet school — will this sit comfortably alongside our RAD or ISTD teaching?
Absolutely — and Ready Set Ballet is our most popular programme with UK schools for exactly this reason. It's designed for preschoolers aged 2–5, well before formal RAD or ISTD syllabus work begins. It sits beautifully alongside your existing classical programme, not in competition with it.
How is this different from babyballet, Little Movers, or Tiny Toes?
Those programmes are built for people starting a franchise from scratch. Ready Set Dance is designed for dance schools and teachers who already exist — it bolts straight on to what you're already doing. You keep your school's identity, your pupils, and your brand. We just give you a brilliant preschool programme to run inside it.
What support is provided for Studio Owners
We are passionate about making sure you feel supported every step of the way. From the onboarding process, to quarterly support calls and 24 hour community closed Facebook Group.
As part of our program, we provide you with marketing resources and templates, business support and events throughout the year to make sure you feel supported and connected.
We also are continually developing our curriculum and working alongside early childhood specialists to make sure our curriculum is not only fun but it combines learning the foundations of dance with meeting early childhood milestones.
