Lil' Groovers Preschool Dance Classes (Ages 2–5)

Lil’ Groovers is APAC’s preschool performing arts program in Castle Hill, designed for children aged 2–5 years. Each class introduces young dancers to movement, music and creativity in a fun, age-appropriate and supportive studio environment.

Our program is designed to help children build coordination, confidence and school readiness while enjoying their first experience in a professional performing arts studio.

Dancing, singing and school readiness fun!

In each class, your child is actively engaged through movement-based activities that build coordination and body awareness. They’re encouraged to follow simple instructions, take turns and move confidently through the space.

Classes feel energetic but controlled, allowing children to release energy while learning how to listen, focus and work alongside others, skills that naturally support school readiness.

Exploring movement through play

Your child experiences a mix of movement styles that keep classes
varied and engaging:

Balance and posture through ballet-inspired movement
Expressive and energetic movement in jazz and hip hop
Sound and timing through tap
Strength and coordination through acro-style activities
Agility and control through ninja-style movement
Group movement and teamwork through cheer-based exercises
Disney magic through Sing, Act and Mime

Each activity is introduced in a way that feels playful, while quietly building
real physical and social skills.

Music that drives participation

Music helps guide each class, giving children clear cues and a sense of rhythm.
It supports memory, timing and engagement, making it easier for children to stay involved and enjoy the structure of the lesson. The music is next level, all written by the team from Justice Crew, to get your children moving.

Many parents notice their child practicing dances and songs at home.

A studio environment you can trust

At APAC, classes are led by instructors who understand early childhood development and know how to balance fun with structure. The studio environment is calm, safe and welcoming, helping children feel secure while staying active. Every child is encouraged at their own pace, with positive guidance throughout the class.
