Early Movers Music and Movement Classes

Early Movers classes are a fun introduction for babies, toddlers and their families into the world of music, movement and dance!
A programme created by Siobhan Buchanan back in 2019, the classes can now be found in many local dance schools. Our Early Movers classes all take place at the Wendy Bates School of Dancing, Unit 6 Wood Street, Burton on Trent, DE14 3AB

Shakers - suitable for babies from 6 weeks to 9 months​
Wrigglers - suitable for babies from 9-18 months​
Movers - suitable for little ones from 18 months-3 years
Age ranges are flexible to allow for the varying ranges of development that little ones go through - babies and children are placed in the class that most suits their physical and emotional development.

The classes are all designed to enable parents and carers to relive their childhood, and release their inner child as they join in and engage in fun, playful activities with little ones. Each class has a weekly theme with all exercises, props and activities related to immerse little ones in a fantastic learning experience.

All of our classes are taught by Miss Siobhan - a fully qualified dance teacher with over 19 years experience teaching in local primary and junior schools, along with all ages at the dancing school. Our Early Movers classes are designed to support your child's development in their early years, in particular strengthening their gross motor skills, language and communication and social skills. Miss Siobhan is also a qualified Baby, Toddler and Children's Yoga instructor and Developmental Play Practitioner with a wealth of knowledge to support those first few wonderful years.
