Handed To You On A Silver Platter
“This course is very thorough and creative. I've been teaching toddlers for 15 years and would have loved to have this at the beginning of my career. The themes and ways to incorporate it are very useful. Can't wait to implement into my classroom.”

Preschool and Children's Director Review
“The course is research-based, not only with a good knowledge of dance, but also a good knowledge of child development. The concepts of the Brain Dance are used, which is one big selling point for me. Classes are developed with the Brain Dance elements in mind.”

The combination of creativity, story telling and music truly makes the lessons come alive.

Development focused
"The course was great for understanding toddler development and the level of progressions we need to be aware of when creating classes and lesson plans for this age group. The example videos of exercises and concepts described earlier in the modules really assisted with cementing the understanding.”
- Erin C. (January 12, 2024)
Psychology backed
“I originally looked into this curriculum because of its story-telling aspect through all ages. I own a theatre arts academy, and so I wanted our ballet curriculum to introduce storytelling in our dance foundations. However, I appreciated that this curriculum is also backed by psychology. I think it is good to remember where the kids are when developing curriculum.”

Much needed course for all new and seasoned toddler teachers!
“I highly recommend once upon a ballets toddler dance course for teachers. The course is direct and to the point while also simple and easy understand. My favorite part of the course is the bite-size lessons that you can easily just watch one video or more depending on the time you have available. There is also valuable handouts and printable guides to use in your classes. This course is a great resource for new and upcoming teachers!”
