10 Best Dance Videos for Toddlers! (Online Tutorials)


Here at Move Dance Learn, we create dance videos for toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners. We have so many to offer, but thought we would put together a list of our top ten dance videos for toddlers to make them easy for you to find and view with your little one!

But don’t just take our word for it!

Thousands of other toddlers have watched and viewed the creative dance tutorial videos and so many parents are always writing to us telling us how much they love them and ask when are we making more!

The best thing about our videos is that the music used is kid friendly and sourced from original musicians, we don’t do branded content like frozen or avengers so you don’t have to worry about your toddler asking you to buy the latest toys and the content has been created by qualified primary school teacher who also has a diploma in dance!

So let’s get onto the list!


1. FUN KIDS BALLET CLASS

This ballet tutorial is one of the most viewed videos on the Move Dance Learn YouTube Channel and for good reason!!!

This is no ordinary ballet class! The structure of a ballet class is followed, but not all toddlers can maintain their concentration and keep their bodies still long enough, especially when watching a teacher online to engage through the whole lesson. And so creatively moving to the music is encouraged whilst at the same time, ballet steps and technique are being taught!

For each of our videos we also try to create resources such as activities and lesson plans for you to use and follow.

Come with us on a trip to the farm where we explore the movement of Horses, Chickens, and Pigs in this creative and fun movement class for kids.

We start off with a warm-up, then listen to the music for some inspiration as we gallop like a horse, imitate the movement of a chicken, and roll around in the mud like pigs.

Then we play a game where we consolidate all the learning from the lesson and finish off with a cool down!
