How strong is your Preschool Department, really?
A three-year-old who joins and stays is often still with you at sixteen. Which makes preschool the front door to your whole studio. Fifteen questions, about three minutes, and you'll see exactly where yours is strong and where it's quietly leaking families.

Four things worth thinking about before 2027
Whether you're already running preschool classes or planning to launch them, these are the challenges dance studio owners
tell us about every day.
tell us about every day.
Being a great studio isn't the same as being the preschool studio
Parents are weighing you against swimming, soccer, and a quiet Saturday morning.
Preschool is the front door to your whole studio
A leaking department isn't costing you twenty spots. It's costing you the senior program you'd have had in 2034.
Term 1 comes around faster than it feels
Curriculum, training and a first enrolment campaign all need a run-up.
The department shouldn't depend on one person
If the plans, the music and the standard live in your head or with one senior teacher, the department can only grow as far as that person can stretch.

Early years curriculum
Designed around how children actually learn.
Ready Set Dance is developed alongside early childhood specialists and informed by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) the same developmental structure that guides preschool education in Australia.
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.

Created by Studio Owners, for Studio Owners
Built because we couldn't find it.
Ready Set Dance was founded in 2015 by Natalie, Belinda, and Priscilla experienced dance teachers and studio owners who built this program for their own schools because nothing on the market was good enough.
"There was a gap in the market for a program that would genuinely captivate the preschooler of today and appeal equally to girls and boys."
The success of the program 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 program 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 500+ official locations later, it's in dance schools across the world!
