More than ‘Mommy & Me’…

Little Leapers classes are loved by moms, dads, aunts and uncles, babysitters and au pairs, …even grandma and grandad get into it!
Our winning combination of expert guidance and engaging content will help you grow your toddler dance program with ease. With strategies to maximize grown-up involvement, your youngest dancers and their grown ups will feel encouraged, engaged and excited to come back for more!
More than a bunch of exercises.
Little Leapers doesn't just give you exercises and lesson plans and send you off on your own. You’ll get videos of full lessons that show you how to teach and transition between exercises and how to engage adults for maximum impact.
And when we say videos of lessons, we mean real lessons, with real students and everything that comes with it – from shyness to disarming potential prop arguments and those hilarious little moments in-between. All of our Little Leapers studios say that seeing how Elke (Little Leapers creator and toddler dance teacher extraordinaire!) delivers each class and manages those little moments is pure gold! 👑
Two packages, 10 themes, and a whole world of firsts ✨
Two comprehensive and captivating packages, each with enough content to span a year of lessons and that can be rinsed and repeated with ease each year… It's no wonder why smart dance studio owners choose Little Leapers to build a strong foundation for their studio.
🎪 Exploring Places package 🪐
Embark on a magical journey through places from the everyday to the out-of-this-world! Whether it’s walking a tightrope, chasing squirrels in the park, prowling like a lion, or tending to a growing garden, students develop their understanding of the world around them through the magic of pretend play… and what better way to experience the magnitude and wonder of our world than from outer space! 🚀
🐚 Sea & Seasons package 🍁
Dive into a deep sea adventure and explore the world through seasonal sights and sounds, from making sandcastles by the beach and playing in piles of crunchy leaves, to throwing snowballs and watching the first flowers of spring bloom. Even better, this package programs itself! Just match up the themes to the seasons in your area and voila, a year’s worth of programming sorted ✨
Each package includes:
✔️ Done-for-you lesson plans (30-minute lessons)

When you have Little Leapers on your side…
You’ll reach a wider demographic
Grown Up and Me classes are perfect for parents and carers who are looking to fill their days, get out of the house, and introduce their little ones to new experiences. From moms and dads, to grandpas and grandmas, aunts and uncles and au pairs – Little Leapers gives you the tools to introduce the newest generation of dancers and their loved ones to the wonder, joy and fulfilment of movement, music and make-believe.
You’ll see their development and confidence soar (…fast!)
The first three years of a child's life are vital to their development. Little Leapers capitalizes on these milestones by playfully supporting children’s physical, cognitive, social and emotional development. Through the magic of pretend play, each Little Leapers lesson sets up children for success in and out of the studio.
Your students will grow with you
Any studio business coach will tell you this: Kids that start dancing with you, stay with you…so why start your classes at 3 years old when you can get them in earlier? With Little Leapers, you’ll forge strong relationships and connections that will keep students and parents coming back to your studio for more! We’re talking studio families that are raving fans and who stick with you like glue.
