Creative dance programmes for early learning centres.
Sparking curiosity, confidence, and joy through movement. We bring imaginative dance adventures directly to your centre each week, supporting tamariki to express themselves through structured play.
Imaginative dance adventures
Each week we weave whimsical storytelling with creative movement, taking children on magical weekly journeys that ignite creativity and curiosity.
Building Confidence
Through structured, playful dance, we help tamariki build confidence, body awareness, and gross motor coordination—meeting them exactly where they are.
Simple Stress-free sessions.
Each week we bring the music, props, and a brand new thoughtfully crafted session directly to you—enriching your curriculum while delighting both children and educators.
What we offer.
Our weekly term-time sessions are designed around developmental milestones, imaginative storytelling, and playful movement that fit seamlessly into your centre's routine.

Littlest Leaps (15 or 30 min)
Specially tailored for toddlers aged 2 to 3.5 years. We offer flexible 15-minute or 30-minute weekly sessions packed with tactile props, engaging songs, and gross motor exploration.

Experience Little Leaps firsthand at zero cost. We bring the music, props, and energy to your centre so your kaiako and tamariki can experience the magic together before committing to a term.
Why centres choose Little Leaps
Our sessions provide enriching experiences that complement early childhood curricula while offering valuable breathing room for teaching teams. Tamariki become part of the story, using their bodies to bring imaginative worlds to life while kaiako enjoy reliable, dedicated non-contact time.
We build a supportive routine.
Each session begins with our signature hello song to help tamariki centre their focus and build a comforting sense of routine. We introduce our imaginative mission for the day, navigating creative physical challenges with scarves, ribbons, and tactile props. We always conclude with a calming goodbye song and our cherished stamp of accomplishment, leaving children proud and settled.
Stress-free for teachers.
We take care of everything—from planning weekly narratives and playlists to managing props and equipment. While tamariki shine, laugh, and move, your teachers can either join the fun or complete critical non-contact admin work knowing their children are fully supported and engaged.
Claire from Little Leaps has been such a wonderful addition to The Harbour Haven! Her fun, positive energy lights up every room, and our tamariki naturally gravitate towards her. Our toddlers and preschoolers get so involved in her sessions and look forward to dancing with her every week.

Dance days with Claire are a highlight of the week at The Coastal Cove! Little Leaps is loved by our parents and offers an affordable way for our centre to provide a wonderful weekly experience. Claire’s enthusiasm is infectious, and the happiness she brings is felt by everyone. We are so pleased to have her as part of our centre programme!

We love Miss Claire and look forward to her Friday dance classes. As a teacher, I love how she incorporates the children's interest into her dance segments to make the classes more meaningful for them. Music and movement is an integral part of our children's lives
