At Perth Circus & Dance Academy, our preschool programs are designed to help children develop confidence, coordination, creativity and a love for movement in a fun, nurturing and age-appropriate environment.
We understand that every child develops at their own pace, which is why we offer two different preschool pathways designed to support children through their early years and prepare them for our Academy programs.
Whether your child is taking their very first class or is ready for a little more independence and structure, we have a program to suit their stage of development.
Our Tiny Tots program is the perfect introduction to the world of dance, movement and circus for our youngest students.
Designed specifically for preschool-aged children, these classes focus on learning through play, imagination and exploration. Children are introduced to movement, music, balance, coordination and social interaction in a fun and engaging environment where confidence can naturally grow.
Classes are designed to be nurturing, supportive and age-appropriate, helping children develop important early childhood skills such as:
- listening and following instructions
- taking turns
- social interaction
- coordination and balance
- creativity and imagination
- independence and confidence
We understand that every child develops at their own pace, which is why we also offer guardian-assisted classes for little ones who may benefit from some extra support as they begin their performing arts journey. These classes allow a parent, grandparent or caregiver to participate alongside their child, helping them feel comfortable, secure and confident as they explore movement and learn new skills.
Whether your child is ready to jump straight into class independently or would prefer a helping hand along the way, our Tiny Tots program provides a welcoming and supportive environment where every child can thrive.
Perfect for: Preschool-aged children who thrive in a playful, exploratory learning environment and families looking for a gentle introduction to structured activities.

Our Mini Movers program is designed for children who are ready for a little more structure, independence and skill development as they prepare to transition into our Academy programs.
While classes remain fun, engaging and supportive, students begin learning more formal dance, acro and performance skills in an age-appropriate way. They are introduced to class routines, basic technique and performance concepts while continuing to build confidence and friendships.
Mini Movers classes focus on:
- developing foundational technique
- coordination and body awareness
- confidence and independence
- teamwork and classroom skills
- musicality and rhythm
- performance and creativity
This program helps bridge the gap between preschool classes and our Academy programs, ensuring students feel confident and prepared as they continue their performing arts journey.
Perfect for: Children in Kindy and Year 1 who are ready for greater independence and structured skill development.

Our Jazz & Tap classes are the perfect combination of energy, creativity and musicality.
Students develop coordination, rhythm, confidence and foundational dance technique through fun and engaging classes that encourage self-expression and performance skills.
From upbeat jazz routines to creating rhythms with their tap shoes, these classes help students build confidence while developing a love for movement and music.
Our Lyrical & Ballet classes focus on grace, creativity, technique and expression.
Students develop strength, flexibility, posture and musicality while learning the foundations of classical ballet and the expressive storytelling elements of lyrical dance.
These classes provide a beautiful balance of discipline and creativity, helping students build confidence and artistry in a supportive environment.
Our Acro & Aerials classes combine strength, flexibility, coordination and confidence in an exciting and dynamic learning environment.
Students learn tumbling, balancing and acrobatic skills alongside aerial apparatus such as silks & lyra.
These classes challenge students both physically and mentally while building resilience, determination and a strong sense of achievement as they progress through new skills.
Our Hip Hop & Ninjas classes are packed with energy, movement and fun.
Perfect for active children, these classes combine age-appropriate hip hop movement, obstacle courses, agility challenges, strength-building activities and coordination-based games.
Students develop confidence, teamwork and body awareness while having a blast in a supportive environment that encourages them to move, explore and express themselves..
