Our Classes
Fun and Interactive Children’s Dance Classes
At Little Bees Dance, we offer a range of fun and interactive Children’s Dance Classes in Altona North. Designed for children aged 18 months to 5 years, our classes provide a safe and engaging environment for your little ones to express themselves through movement.
Our Approach
At Little Bees Dance, we break away from the confines of traditional dance schools. No strict rules or uniforms here! We champion self-expression, creativity, and pure enjoyment. Our classes captivate your child’s attention, spark their curiosity, and fuel their imagination. With a diverse array of dance and circus props, we ensure each class stands out as a unique and thrilling experience.
Our 30-minute sessions are the perfect introduction to dance for your child, helping them develop flexibility, balance, coordination, and musicality. But more than that, our classes are a chance for children to make friends, learn to work as a team, and build their confidence.

Bee-prepared and FAQs!
What should we wear?
Bee-comfortable!
There’s no set uniform at Little Bees Dance. You and your little one can come in whatever you choose, just make sure you can dance and move freely and easily!
It’s probably best to wear something with grip, as the floor at the studio can be slippery. We don’t recommend just socks.
What age group are your classes for?
Our classes are designed for children aged 18 months to 5 years. We have different classes for different age groups to ensure that the activities are age-appropriate and engaging.
How long is each class?
Each class lasts for 30 minutes. This duration is perfect for young children, providing enough time for them to learn and have fun without becoming too tired.
Where are the classes held?
Our classes are held at the Walker Close Community Centre, located at Millers Road, Altona North. See our Events & Bookings page for more details.
Do parents need to stay during the class?
Yes, parents or guardians are expected to stay and watch the class.
For our Social Bees class (18 months – 2 years), parents/guardians are expected to support their children through the class.
Our Honey Bees classes, designed for 3-4-year-olds, and our Bumble Bees classes, tailored for 4-5-year-olds, encourage parents and guardians to stay. Not only can you watch the class, but you can also provide support when needed. This way, you can be part of your child’s exciting dance journey.
