How to Start a Dance Class for Toddlers (Even with No Experience)

Have you dreamed of starting a toddler dance class, but don’t know where to begin?

Maybe you’re a dancer, a parent, a nanny—or someone passionate about early childhood. Starting your own class can be fulfilling, flexible, and fun. But it can also feel overwhelming.

That’s exactly why I created Totsdance.

As a professional ballerina, mum, and Ofsted-registered nanny, I know how hard it can be to juggle time, confidence, and planning. I started my first toddler dance class from scratch—with zero business knowledge. And today, I help others do the same.

Here’s How You Can Start Today

1. Define Your Age Group and Class Style

For toddlers (18 months–3 years), classes should be playful, short, and filled with music and imagination.

2. Choose a Venue and Set a Schedule

Start with a local church hall, community center, or even your living room. Mornings are ideal for non-school children.

3. Use Done-for-You Lesson Plans

Creating structure from scratch is hard. Totsdance lesson plans give you everything you need to feel confident from day one.

4. Promote Through Word of Mouth and Social Media

Start with your local parenting groups, WhatsApp chats, and Instagram reels. You don’t need a big budget to get started.

Save Time with Pre-Made Lessons

You don’t need to join a franchise or spend hundreds of hours prepping.
With Totsdance, you can access structured, themed lessons with clear instructions, activities, and music suggestions.
