Preschool Dance Classes

At LCDC, we have a uniform for all our dancers, including preschoolers. Having a uniform helps dancers associate putting on a uniform with being ready for class, and it also ensures that all students are equal in the studio.

Our uniform for preschoolers is a pale pink leotard, a pink soft tulle skirt, ballet tights or socks and ballet shoes. All items except for ballet shoes can be purchased at our uniform shop at LCDC or through our online store. (We’ll need a link here).

Dancers trialling classes are welcome to wear whatever they like, just make sure it’s comfortable and not restrictive (jeans etc), and bare feet are best.

Absolutely! We accept new enrolments for Once Upon A Ballet at any time throughout the year, with the exception of Term 4 where we close enrolments around Week 3.

New enrolments will have a pro-rata applied to term fees after Week 2 of each term.

Not at all! Due to the structure of our Once Upon A Ballet classes, students will go over fundamental steps and technique building exercises multiple times with new stories to really help dancers grasp the basics.

First Steps is for students aged 3-4 years old. We recommend this class for students within this age group who are starting ballet for the first time or who are still a full year away from starting Kindergarten.

Discovering Dance is for students aged 4-5 who have already done First Steps, and/or are starting Kindergarten the following calendar year.

We like to keep students with the age group they will be going to Primary School with as much as possible. This helps build friendships and familiarity with one age group, and ensures they are in the correct level if they continue to dance at LCDC for years to come.
