Structured, Consistent and Developmentally Focused #1
** For photos or graphics, we recommend using images that display the students interacting with skill development conceptual learning and dance technique. You should also include students interacting with each other and their teachers. **
Caption 1: We're a Leap 'N Learn studio which means our curriculum is designed to be versatile. ♻
Our strong focus on whole child development fosters the progression of skills that allow students to succeed across all styles. Tiptoe walks can turn into tap steps. Paint splatter exercises can transition into hip hop isolations. Jumps can become jazz leaps.
Our LNL curriculum cultivates adaptable, well-rounded dancers with a vast array of knowledge and imagery to draw from.

Caption 2: What's the trifecta for preschool dance teaching success? 🤔
🏆 Content
🏆 Pedagogy
🏆 Classroom Management
Content is what we're teaching. The pliés, sautés, and skips. But also the respect, kindness and resilience.
Pedagogy is how we teach it. The scaffolding, sequencing and knowledge-building that goes into developing dance.
And then there's the magic of classroom management. The ability to smoothly transition between exercises, keep students engaged and ensure that each class runs like a well-oiled machine. It's all about maximising and encouraging joyful learning in our littlest dancers.
Our preschool program does more than just dance. With programs created by a master teacher, child psychologist, and a dance education academic, our Leap 'N Learn curriculum makes us and our teachers some of the best in the business.
We're not in it for cheap gimmicks and commercialization. We're in it for the love of dance and the precious gift of learning.

Caption 3: Let's talk consistency. Consistent classroom experiences are crucial as we grow our students' abilities.
Why? Because here's what consistency can do...
🌟 in class: structure reduces uncertainty, boosts student confidence and enables powerful learning.
🌟 across classes: we know that Wednesday 3:30pm kids get the same awesome teaching as Saturday 10am students.
🌟 across grades: all our new 8yr olds will have been exposed to the same movements, concepts and learning, which means we can build their dance skills far more effectively.
A good curriculum provides the foundation for success, that's why we've adopted the a Leap 'N Learn way.

Caption 5: We're proud to say that our dance curriculum ticks all of the boxes.
✅ We Develop more than just dance
Teaching a plié is one thing - but the best dance programs intentionally focus on developing the whole child, supporting students' emotional, social and cognitive development.
✅ We use cumulative content
Sequencing and pacing is crucial for any educational programming. Content should be carefully arranged to ensure maximum success - that means more positive learning experiences for our students.
✅ We are focused on pedagogy
And no, we don't mean "articulate through the foot in a tendu". That's just content. Pedagogy is how we teach, scaffold, connect, integrate and build knowledge.
✅ We have comprehensive training & support
We get 1:1 help from creators and lead representatives when we need it. We receive ongoing professional development to ensure that we stay at the forefront of dance education.
We tick the boxes with Leap 'N Learn as our foundation and we do it for your kids' dance education.

Caption 6: Why is structure so important in a preschool dance class?
Structure enables children to feel confident and in control of their place in the learning environment. It lets them know what to expect, which means less room for uncertainty and anxiety and more room for positive, playful learning.
Structure manifests in different ways - what is done, where it's done, how, and when - which means that keeping things structured doesn't have to be stagnant. Our littlest dancers are like sponges 🧽 and they're ready to soak up the wonder of the world around them. Structure and consistency can still be inspiring and imaginative.
Our Leap 'N Learn classes always balance structure with creativity so the only surprises are good ones!

Caption 7: As studio owners, upholding a certain level of quality is a crucial and at times, a tricky task. That's why we use an exceptional curriculum as our foundation.
Leap 'N Learn studios all have one thing in common - they consistently deliver exceptional educational experiences that keep kids coming back year after year.
How?
Because they're backed by a curriculum that trains their teachers to deliver consistent, high quality dance classes - classes that teachers love to teach, and students and parents adore.
We are proud of to be a Leap 'N Learn studio.

Caption 8: Ballet education is a layering process. Over time, more complexity is threaded into positions and steps, and movements are refined into what we come to know as the strong and graceful form of ballet.
Our teachers understand the importance of carefully sequenced exercises that don't push little bodies too soon. We're all about setting up the foundations for success, and that means we let our kids be little.
From their very first plié in parallel, our Leap 'N Learn approach is there to guide students to develop both physical skills, conceptual understandings, and the confidence to last them a lifetime.
