Dance Classes for Kids Aged 3 to 6 in Tampere
A playful 40 minute group where little ones learn rhythm, coordination and the joy of moving, and dance on stage for their families at the end of the semester.
40 minutes · Saturday, time is being confirmed · 120€ per semester


A first dance class through play.
Mini Dance is a small dance group for the youngest dancers. Every class is 40 minutes of music, games and simple movements that children want to repeat.
There is no pressure and no wrong answers, just a room where moving is fun.
Strong feet, a straight back and a sense of rhythm.
Behind the games there is real training. We work on rhythm, coordination, posture and strong, flexible feet and back.
These are the basics every dancer needs, and children at this age pick them up easily when it feels like play.


A gentle start, no experience needed.
Many children in this age group have never been to a class before, and that is exactly who the group is for.
If your child is shy at first, they can watch and join when they are ready. Parents can stay nearby during class, and we go at the pace of the children.
A first stage experience.
At the end of the semester the children perform for their families. It is a short, happy moment on stage that gives them pride and confidence.
The spring performance is in May, the date will be announced.


Small group, personal attention.
The group is small, so every child is seen and heard.
The group opens when at least 5 children confirm after the trial class.
