Create a Fun + Fanciful First Dance Class Experience!

🎙 Episode Title: Bringing Fun & Fancy to Your First Dance Class (Part 1)

Welcome back to the Dance to Learn® Podcast — the Preschool Dance Teacher’s Podcast! In this episode, host Jessica Strong kicks off a special 2-part series to help you bring fun and fancy into your first dance classes of the new season. Whether it’s your students’ very first class or just the start of a new year, this episode is full of tips to make it magical, memorable, and meaningful.

Jessica reads and walks you through her children’s book Florrie Flamingo’s First Ballet Class — designed to be read and danced through in real time. You’ll also hear creative ways to make your class more engaging and soothing for nervous little dancers, including:

🦩 A ballerina flamingo stuffed animal for demonstrations and comfort
 🪶 Flamingo feathers for tiptoe bourrées, chassés, and leaps
 🎨 “I Love Florrie Flamingo” coloring pages for at-home connection and sharing

If you’ve ever wanted to elevate your first-day experience with a touch of whimsy and structure, this episode is for you!
