Why Choose Preschool Dance in Gordon?
Our Preschool Dance Programs
What Makes Legs Performing Arts Different?
Preschool is the perfect age to introduce children to dance. At this stage, kids are naturally curious and full of energy. Dance provides an outlet that not only entertains but also nurtures essential life skills like balance, coordination, and resilience. Parents in Gordon love that our classes are fun, safe, and community-focused. Shy children gradually find their confidence, energetic kids learn focus and teamwork, and everyone discovers the joy of movement.
The highlight of our Gordon preschool program is Ready Set Dance—a nationally recognised curriculum designed specifically for children aged 2–5. Classes introduce children to ballet, jazz, tap, and creative dance in imaginative, age-appropriate ways. From games with colourful props to fun routines with upbeat music, every class is designed to engage preschoolers and keep them excited about learning. We also incorporate tumbling and introductory acrobatics for little ones who love to explore movement. 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.”
Families in Gordon trust Legs because of our reputation, community focus, and quality teaching:

Owner Insight: Michelle Heine, founder of Legs, shares: “We’ve seen children start as shy toddlers and grow into confident teens on stage. Preschool dance is where that journey begins—it’s about building resilience and joy for life, not just learning steps.”
