What Your Child Will Learn With Lil Groovers
Lil Jazz
Lil Jazz introduces preschoolers to the joy of movement through basic jazz technique (think high energy movement, kicks and jumps!) in a magical, imagination-first environment. Your child builds coordination, confidence and a love for performing, one glittery routine at a time.
Lil Acro
A safe, structured introduction to tumbling and acrobatics (think balances, handstands, rolls and cartwheels!), building gross motor skills, flexibility and physical confidence from the ground up. Every class is designed to gently push your child out of their comfort zone while keeping it fun and age-appropriate.
Lil Ballet
Lil Ballet introduces the grace and structure of classical dance to little movers through imaginative, story-driven classes built for preschool minds. Your child develops posture, coordination, ballet technique and focus while building the kind of quiet confidence that shows up far beyond the studio
Lil Hip Hop
Lil Hip Hop brings authentic street dance culture to preschoolers through real Hip Hop fundamentals like grooves and breakdancing. Think freestyling, cyphers and infectious energy. Your child builds strength, coordination and individuality while developing the kind of self-expression that makes them stand tall in any room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here's what we usually get asked
How old does my child need to be?
Lil Groovers is designed for children aged 2.5, right up until the end of their preschool journey. This program is designed to support dancers through their first steps at that young age, right up until those leadership moments before they kickstart big school!
Do they need any experience?
None at all. Every child starts as a beginner and our coaches are trained to welcome firsttimers with patience and warmth. Most kids are fully engaged within minutes.
Can I stay & watch?
Lil Groovers is a kiss-and-drop programme, which is actually part of what makes it work. Children settle faster and build independence more quickly when parents are not in the room. That said, during their first week, we'll have you come and watch the last 5 minutes of their class time to see how they settled in.
Once enrolled, we'll show you the BAND app, which is where you'll be able to see photos and videos of your child's time in class.
What if my child gets upset or won't settle?
This is the question we hear most, and the answer is almost always the same. Our coaches handle gentle transitions every single week. Most children settle within minutes, and the structured rotation keeps them engaged so there is simply no time to be anxious.
Some dancers take longer to settle, and that's absolutely okay! We will always communicate with you if we have any concerns, and we'll work as a team to ensure that your dancer feels confident and comfortable in our space.
Is it safe? Who are the instructors?
Our ProgressDNA teachers are the best of the best! All staff members are Working With Children (WWC) checked, undergo ongoing training and absolutely love what they do!
What does the free trial include?
Your free trial gives your child a full 100 minute (9am-10:40am) Lil Groovers session, rotating through three back-to-back class styles. It is a genuine, full experience, not a shortened sample. If you love it, and they will, we will talk about ongoing enrollment at the end.
What happens after the trial?
If you would like to continue, we will help you find the right ongoing class slot for your schedule. We will walk you through options and pricing with no pressure and no rush.
What should my child wear to the trial?
Comfortable clothes and sneakers. That is genuinely it. We take care of everything else.
What do they need to bring?
Just a water bottle, and a snack if your dancer likes to re-fuel! We handle the rest.
How many kids are in each class?
We keep class sizes deliberately small. Trial spots are capped at 5 per session so every child gets proper attention from their instructor, especially in those first few weeks.
Our weekday classes are small, but we cater to up to 15 dancers per class.
What time should we arrive?
Please arrive 10 minutes before the class starts so we can show you around the studio and have your little one settle in before we get started.
Where are you located?
We are at 343 Pacific Highway, North Sydney. Your best parking options are on Myrtle Street and West Street!
How We Get Your Child LOVING IT (And You Get your Morning Off!)
Step 1: Book Your Trial
Secure your spot in our next available session. Trial spots are capped at 5 per class, so your child gets the attention they deserve from day one.
Step 2: Kiss & Drop at the Studio Door
Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early for a quick, friendly check-in with our team. Then hand them over. Your child will rotate through three back-to-back class styles, including Hip Hop, Acro, Jazz, Ninjas and more, led by our WWC-checked instructors in a safe, purpose-built studio. You head off and actually have some time to yourself.
Step 3: Pick Up a Happy, Tired-Out Child
100 minutes later, come back to a child who is glowing. Full of stories. Probably showing you their new moves. Ready for a nap. And already asking when they can go back.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Hey, I'm Kj!
I opened ProgressDNA in 2022 to be a safe, inclusive space for kids to explore performing arts. With 15 years of Studio Management and professional dance experience, plus my background in developmental psychology, I believe that high quality performing arts education goes hand in hand with safe, healthy, kid-first teaching strategies.
My approach to mental-health supportive training for kids is proven to work - some of my graduated students are on Broadway, performing in Australian national tours, and training at some of the most elite dance schools in the world (including Julliard and The School of American Ballet). Others have gone on to pursue incredible things outside of our industry as lawyers, teachers, PR professionals and personal trainers - using the personal skills they learnt as dancers in the office every day.
Lil Groovers is the perfect starting point for all kids - it's engaging, fun and confidence building, all the while preparing them with actual dance techniques and skills. Our priority is making our littlest dancers feel capable and confident to take on big school and the world - and no program is able to do that like Lil Groovers.
