Toddler dance activities to try
- Pass the teddy: sitting in a circle, each child cuddles the class character and says their name
- Good toes, naughty toes: point and flex feet with legs stretched out
- Reach for the stars: grab stars from the ceiling and twinkle them back
- Butterflies: flutter around the room, freezing when the music stops
- Jump the river: run and jump over a blue towel or ribbon
- Goodbye lullaby: put the class character to sleep with a soft stroke
Making toddler classes run smoothly
- Have props ready before children arrive
- Keep music cued — waiting is when toddlers wander
- Repeat favourite activities rather than chasing variety
- Celebrate effort with stickers or a reward chart
Every activity, music and video in one place
Dancing Dots puts these activities into complete class guides for ballet, hip hop and tap, each with original music and teacher videos. Teachers open the guide on their phone, press play on the matching track and teach.
