Welcome to our KP Mini Performers Programs – the award-winning preschool dance program that we’re proud to offer at Kalamunda Performers. Designed specifically for toddlers and preschoolers ( 16 months to 5 years) . Our Ready Set Dance classes are a fantastic introduction to the world of dance. If you’re searching for toddler dance classes in Perth that will keep your little one engaged, active, and smiling ear-to-ear, this is it.
This program is designed for our tiniest dancers to enjoy alongside their grown-up, blending creative movement and music to support early development and joyful connection. Each class is thoughtfully structured into three playful sections – ENGAGE, EXPLORE, and EXPRESS – nurturing physical, social, and emotional growth through movement.
Participating in Ready Set Move with the support of a grown-up creates meaningful opportunities for play, learning, and bonding.
So come bounce like a bunny, move slow like a sloth, and make special memories with your little mover!
A playful exploration of music, nursery rhymes, lap play and parachute fun.

This section of the class involves free dance movement which develops creativity with instruments, feathers and bubbles.
Ready Set Dance is a one-hour combo class that includes a bit of everything: jazz, tap, hip hop, singing, music, and plenty of fun.
It was even voted Best National Activity for Preschoolers in 2018 and most recently won 2024 Australian Small Business of the Year – a testament to how amazing this program is. As an official Ready Set Dance location, we follow a curriculum that focuses on developing the 3 C’s in young children:
Every class is structured to help children come out of their shell. From taking a turn in the spotlight to receiving lots of positive encouragement, kids learn to feel good about themselves.
Through dance games and exercises (like balancing bean bags, using rhythm sticks, or playing with a parachute), students improve their motor skills, balance and timing.
Preschoolers are full of imagination! Ready Set Dance nurtures that creativity with themed activities, prop play (think rainbow ribbons, wands, etc.), and opportunities for kids to express themselves freely.
Ready Set Ballet your tiny dancers to embark on a magical ballet dance journey tailored for children aged 2-5 with Ready Set Ballet. Led by our delightful instructors, young dancers explore the fundamentals of ballet while engaging with specially curated original music that captures the essence of classical ballet. Through imaginative mime activities, themed dances, and playful props such as rainbow ribbons and feathers, children engage their creativity while also developing tactile awareness and fine motor skills.
Ready Set Acro is a lively and engaging Acrobat program built on a structured class format that supports holistic development while introducing preschoolers to a variety of exciting Acrobat skills.
Developed with original music featuring lyric cues, the program emphasises three core components: Stretch, Strength, and Skills.
With its unique guided training approach, Ready Set Acro offers a fun and supportive environment where preschoolers can build confidence, develop physical abilities, and enjoy every step of their acro journey!
All Ready Set Dance programs are co-educational – it’s equally loved by boys and girls. We make sure the music and themes appeal to all little dancers (superheroes, fairies, animals – you name it!). The class is fast-paced with friendly mascot characters to guide the fun, ensuring no dull moments for short attention spans.
Early childhood experts recommend Ready Set Dance for its wide-ranging developmental benefits. Through regular participation, young dancers build important learning habits like enthusiasm, independence, focus, persistence, and teamwork—alongside the three C’s: confidence, coordination, and creativity. These skills not only support their dance journey but also help prepare children for a smooth transition into both school and dance school life.
Parents often notice improvements not just in dance skills but in general development too: things like following instructions, taking turns, and interacting with other children. It’s truly a program that prepares kids for both school and dance school!
