Why Choose Preschool Dance in Calwell?
Our Preschool Dance Programs
What Sets Legs Performing Arts Apart
Preschool dance gives children the chance to explore movement, develop rhythm, and gain social skills in a safe, nurturing setting. Parents in Calwell love that classes combine fun with learning, providing a solid foundation for school readiness. Many families notice how quickly their children grow in confidence. Shy children begin to smile and participate, while energetic kids find structure and focus—all while making friends that often last beyond the studio.
Our core offering in Calwell is the Ready Set Dance Preschool Program. This nationally recognised curriculum introduces children to ballet, jazz, tap, and creative movement, all taught in fun, age-appropriate ways. Classes also include imaginative games, props, and beginner tumbling activities, which build coordination and keep children engaged. Every program is beginner-friendly, so no prior dance experience is needed. Owner Insight: Studio director Michelle Heine explains: “Some of our most talented senior dancers first walked into Legs as shy toddlers. Preschool dance in Wanniassa is where that journey begins—it’s where confidence, joy, and lifelong friendships are formed.”

-
