Once your little one is confidently on their feet, the world changes — and so does the way they move! Ready Set Dance walking-age classes are specially designed for toddlers who are newly walking (typically from first steps up to around 24 months). These sessions focus on joyful movement, sensory play and parent-child connection to build early motor skills, body awareness and a love of music.

Walking Age Dance Classes
Why Start Dance at Walking Age?
Walking-age toddlers are discovering balance, coordination and independence. Dance and movement is a gentle, joyful way to support those milestones. At this stage, classes centre on exploration rather than instruction: simple repetitive actions, sensory experiences and music help toddlers understand their bodies, build confidence and learn how to play with others.
If your little one isn’t ready for our structured Ready Set Dance lessons, you may consider our Ready Set Move program.
Mum & Baby Dance Classes
Our Mum & Baby Dance classes offer a special opportunity for parents and their little ones to bond through music and movement. Designed for babies from birth to pre-walking age, these gentle, playful sessions focus on interactive songs, sensory play, and guided movements that support early motor skills, body awareness, and social connection.
Parents and caregivers participate alongside their babies, fostering attachment, confidence, and joyful exploration in a safe, nurturing environment. Babies can experience rhythm and music while engaging their senses, laying the foundation for our walking-age dance and preschool dance classes. It's a wonderful way to share early milestones, encourage movement and celebrate your baby’s first steps in the world of dance.

Dance Classes for Walking Age: FAQs
Is my child too young to start if they’re just walking?
Not at all. Walking age is a wonderful moment for young dancers to start dance classes. Ready Set Dance schools provide lessons designed for their short attention spans and include parent participation so toddlers feel safe while exploring movement.
What happens if my toddler doesn’t participate?
It’s completely normal. Some children observe before joining in. Our certified teachers encourage gentle involvement and celebrate every small step; there’s no pressure.
