Bring Dancercise Kids to your center.
Providing high quality, reliable enrichment programs is a competitive advantage for you as you seek to raise enrollment and showcase the widest range of programming for parents considering your pre-school.
35 years. Still growing.
Dancercise Kids has been offering classes in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area for over 35 years. As other programs have come and gone, we're a proven quantity. Reliability and quality are key to offering enrichment classes, and we've provided that and more for decades.
We've created a curriculum with 36 monthly units, meaning that kids in a pre-school environment will experience new curriculum during their entire enrollment in class, even if they stay in class for 3 years! Designed for girls and boys ages 2–6, no one gets bored in Dancercise Kids!
Dancercise Kids Founder Tessa Pfeifer has been working with childcare centers and pre-schools in Minnesota and beyond since she was a teenager. We've seen it all. We understand what you need and how to work with you. We make it easy on you, your teachers, and your parents.
The parents at our center value the convenience of Dancercise being brought to their kids during the day, and they appreciate the unique blend of dance, exercise and education.
A different unit every month.
With a different unit every month, our curriculum covers topics from Nutrition to Occupations, with each month's songs and dances emphasizing these learning lessons through words, music, and sign language. Each month features lessons in Jazz, Tap, and Ballet, as well as Fitness and Creative Movements, so kids are constantly stimulated by new topics and styles.
Our professionally-recorded music has been written specifically for this curriculum. It supports our lesson plans, with age-appropriate lyrics and infectious melodies. Parents and schools can find all of our songs on the major streaming platforms too!
Fitness warm-up
Every class starts with an upbeat fitness song to get kids moving and their hearts beating. 'Three Things', from our Healthy Habits unit, reminds them to sleep well, eat well, and get some exercise — like Dancercise!
Jazz
Every month the kids learn a new jazz dance. For Healthy Habits they dance 'Gotta Boogie!' — complete with Boogie-Woogie Waves and Jump Turns.
Ballet
Simple ballet steps the kids can show off at home. For Healthy Habits they learn 'I Don't Want to Go to Bed', with a plié and a bourrée turn.
Tap
Tap gets the feet going. For Healthy Habits the song is 'I Love The Water' — with a shuffle step and a pas de chat.
Creative movement
Every month includes creative movement that sparks imagination. For Healthy Habits, kids pretend to be snowflakes — each one different, each one unique.
Tumbling
Age-appropriate tumbling, every month. Instructors spot the kids as they work on moves like a handstand, scaled to what each child can do.
In addition, the curriculum incorporates Sign Language to engage fine motor skills and communication development.
Simple to run, reliable to count on.
Our trained instructor will come into your center at a specific day and time that we agree with you. We have a curated calendar each year that ensures we provide 4 classes per month but account for holidays such as July 4th and Thanksgiving.
We have a specific class calendar that is modified each year to account for holidays, including MLK Day and Independence Day. That means we may sometimes teach 3 or 5 classes in a calendar month, depending on the day of the week classes are taught, and when those holidays fall.
We assign our trained instructors to your classes based on the scheduled day and time we agree upon, and the availability of our instructors. We also look to find the best match between schools and instructors based on personality and driving distance.
In the rare situation where an instructor is sick or a weather event prevents us teaching, we will either arrange a substitute or a make-up class with you. We've seen it all over the years.
