FAQs Jazz Dance for kids: FAQs

Is Jazz right for my child?

Ready Set Dance programs are a combo class which offers a mix of various dance styles for little ones. We understand for some kids this will be their first time learning dance, so trialling different dance genres in our combo classes can help them learn the foundations of core dance styles while meeting childhood development goals. Our experienced and supportive dance instructors are dedicated to helping you find the ideal dance style for your child. Children learn at their own skill levels, and the classes provide for first-time dancers right through to more advanced dancers. 

Whether they are interested in hip hop classes, kids ballet programs, tap dancing, singing or something completely different, our teachers will collaborate with you to identify the style that best aligns with your child's interests and abilities.

What elements of Jazz are taught in Ready Set Dance programs?

Our kids dance classes are a combined dance program. During your kids classes, they will be introduced to key elements of some new and exciting dance styles including contemporary jazz, hip-hop and tap.

Contemporary jazz dance is a captivating style that blends elements of jazz and modern dance, resulting in a unique and dynamic form of expression. This style is characterised by fluid movements, turns, footwork and elegant lines. With its strong emphasis on improvisation, contemporary jazz allows dancers to showcase their individuality and creativity, making each performance a personal expression of dance. 

Tap dancing combines jazz-inspired footwork and character with the distinctive rhythmic sounds of tap. This energetic and upbeat style is defined by rhythmic tapping. Tap dance features footwork and rhythmic timing, making it a lively and engaging form of expression that captivates audiences and encourages creativity.

What other dance styles does Ready Set Dance teach?

In addition to jazz, Ready Set Dance programs include a mixed variety of dance styles, including hip hop which has more elements of street dance, acro which involves stretch and strength, classical ballet which focuses on coordination and flexibility, as well as tap dancing and singing which can lead to progression into musical theatre. Our various range of dance styles in each class allows your tiny dancer to explore the vast and magical world of dance. Find the best dance classes for them today.

What should my child wear to a Jazz dance class?

For our jazz dance kids, we recommend dressing your little dancer in Ready Set Dance uniform. Girls can wear a leotard, tights, and Tap/Jazz shoes, while boys can choose a Ready Set Dance T-shirt paired with shorts and Tap/Jazz shoes. To ensure long hair doesnโ€™t interfere with movement, it should be tied back. Plus, we provide a variety of fun hair accessories for your child to express their unique style!

How are the classes divided by age groups?

Ready Set Dance classes are organised based on the discretion of our official locations and the number of enrolled students. Classes may be split into ages:
  • Level 1: kids aged 2-3 years
  • Level 2: kids aged 4-5 years
Alternatively, classes can be combined, with instructors customising exercises to meet the unique needs and abilities of each child. Whether age groups are separated or mixed depends on class size.
