WHY CHOOSE MINI DANCE, MINI ACRO & MINI BALLET

​

Beats Per Minute Performing Arts is proud to offer our Mini Dance, Mini Acro & Mini Ballet program for preschool-aged children in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast.

​

Our preschool program has been thoughtfully designed to give young children a joyful, nurturing and inspiring introduction to movement and dance. With classes running daily, and Saturdays, families have flexible options to suit busy schedules while ensuring every preschooler can access classes that support their early development.

Our Mini programs use engaging, age-appropriate music, playful themes and imaginative movement to keep today’s preschoolers motivated and excited to participate. 

​

With a strong emphasis on FUN, our Mini Dance, Mini Acro & Mini Ballet classes are often the highlight of a child’s week, helping them build confidence, friendships and a lifelong love of movement.

​

WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR?

Our Mini programs are designed for girls and boys aged 2–5 years and provide a wonderful introduction to:

​

• Mini Dance – incorporating jazz and introductory rhythm and musicality

• Mini Ballet – focusing on posture, grace and basic ballet technique

• Mini Acro – developing strength, balance and safe foundational acrobatic skills

All activities are carefully structured to be inclusive, engaging and developmentally appropriate. Themes are playful and non-gender specific, allowing every child to connect with the material. Our class framework includes variations to support children at different stages — from a two-year-old starting their very first class to a five-year-old preparing for “big school”

 

CLASSES HELD IN A PROFESSIONAL DANCE STUDIO ENVIRONMENT

Our preschool dancers learn in a studio that caters for all ages, meaning your child can grow and progress without needing to change studios as they move through different stages of training.

​

This continuity helps children build lasting friendships, confidence and a sense of belonging. At a time when families often feel uncertainty around school transitions, it’s reassuring to know your child can continue their dance journey in a familiar, supportive environment.

Dance together. Friends forever.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR

MINI DANCE, MINI ACRO & MINI BALLET CLASSES

Each class is carefully structured to support preschool learning and confidence:

• Classes begin with a calm, seated group activity, helping children transition comfortably into the lesson — particularly important for quieter children or those new to a class environment.

• Children then explore a variety of foundational movement skills including marching, skipping, hopping, galloping and balance activities.

• Movements are set to cheerful music and sometimes supported with props, keeping engagement high and learning fun.

• Students are gently introduced to rhythm, timing and musical awareness through simple patterns and repetition.

• Classes include clear instruction cues such as forming circles, finding space, lining up and responding to questions — excellent preparation for kindergarten and prep classrooms.

• Mini Ballet builds posture, alignment and expressive movement.

• Mini Acro develops safe strength, body awareness and coordination using age-appropriate progressions.

• Mini Dance encourages freedom of movement, confidence and performance skills.
