“It is exciting to be in the New South Wales community to educate children who learn how to learn while they learn how to dance,” says Alexandra Hocking, Franchisee for Kinderdance in New South Wales.  “For young children, movement, music and dance are natural tools for fitness, learning, and communication while expressing their feelings.”

Kinderdance® programs emphasize self-confidence and self-esteem in children by teaching them to share, lead, interact and respond to others' needs, as well as their own.

The skills are taught using dance, fitness and creative movement, combined with education in numbers, colors, shapes and words. Movements focus on motor development, body awareness and gymnastics by using fun music and fitness routines.

The company offers the educational movement programs on site to child-care centers recreational centers, churches, fitness centers, and many other viable locations.
