Welcome to Leaps and Beats Dance Studio

At Leaps and Beats Dance, we believe dance should be about joy, confidence, creativity, and connection not pressure, perfection, or competition.

 

We are a nurturing, non-competitive dance space where children are encouraged to explore movement, music, and imagination in a way that feels safe, fun, and empowering. Our classes focus on strong dance foundations, while also supporting each child’s emotional wellbeing, self-expression, and confidence  skills that last far beyond the dance floor.

 

Leaps and Beats is proudly a one-woman studio, meaning your child is taught solely by me. As a mother of three with training in dance, acting, fitness, and coaching, I bring years of experience and a deep passion for inspiring children through movement. Every child is truly seen, known, and supported never just a number in a crowd.

 

Here, children are free to move, imagine, create, and grow at their own pace. We celebrate individuality, encourage curiosity, and nurture a genuine love of dance and music in an environment that feels encouraging and uplifting.

 

If you’re looking for a dance school that puts your child first building confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of movement  we would love to welcome you to Leaps & Beats Dance.

Our Troop program is designed for dancers who are ready to progress and challenge themselves in a fun, supportive environment. This class is ideal for more advanced students, with a focus on technique, conditioning, and higher-level movement.

Booty Beats is a high-energy, empowering dance class for adults of all skill levels. We celebrate the diversity in our abilities, ages, bodies, and personalities, and come together in a judgement-free, ego-free space.

 

This class is about stepping outside your comfort zone, building confidence, and reconnecting with the joy of movement all while having a HELL of a lot of fun.

 

Whether you’re brand new to dance or returning after a break, you’re welcome here. No pressure. No expectations. Just movement, music, and good vibes.

 

Come as you are.

Leave feeling stronger, more confident, and energised.

My daughter has been going to Leaps and Beats dance classes for the past 4 years (since she was 3 years old)
My daughter absolutely. adores Miss Jenna and loves coming to her dance class every week. Every class is fun, energetic and inclusive of every student who joins the Leaps and Beats community.

Jenna has an incredible gift of building kids confidence in themselves and it truly shows on and off the dance floor.

Fiona

Leaps & Beats is a joy-filled, nurturing environment where children grow stronger, more coordinated, and deeply confident in their bodies. Through skilled, supportive teaching, kids develop body awareness, selfbelief, and pride in what their bodies can do, all while genuinely loving and celebrating fun movement.

Brydie

For the last 6 years Jenna has allowed our daughter’s love of dance to grow while being in a supported environment. Our daughter is greeted by name every week and leaves every class gaining a little more self confidence. Jenna creates a supportive, fun and joyful experience for every child allowing them to be themselves without pressure. 

I would recommend this dance class to any child looking to get their boogie on, have some fun, and make new friends.

Samantha 

Our son has always danced to the beat of his own drum, and finding a place where that’s not just accepted but celebrated has meant the world to us. Leaps & Beats has such an inclusive, uplifting vibe where every child’s individuality is seen as a strength, and it really shows in the way they support and celebrate each other. Jenna sets the tone with her kindness and genuine care, always modelling what it means to be an upstander. It’s such a special community, and we’re so grateful our son has found his people here. He’s been dancing with Leaps & Beats for four years now, and it continues to bring out the best in him.
