Back to dancing! 💃

The new term is here and we are ready for more dancing!

Whether your little one is taking their very first steps into a dance class or returning to their favourite weekly routine, there’s nothing quite like dancing together.

From baby dance classes to toddler dance classes and fun-filled sessions for little ones up to 6 years old, Tappy Toes is all about learning through music, movement and play.

Ready to get dancing? Because dance is about so much more than steps!

NEW TAPPY CHAT: Raising children with allergies

The planning, the worry, the advocacy and helping children find their own voice. ❤️

Miss Alex is joined by mums Ailsa and Jen for an honest conversation about navigating childhood allergies, from diagnosis and birthday parties to school, eating out and those constant “what if?” moments.

They also talk about allergy treatment, immunotherapy and watching their children grow into confident young people who can increasingly understand and advocate for themselves.

For parents at the start of their journey, there’s an important reminder: you’re not alone, and it does get easier. 💛

🎧 Listen to the latest episode of Tappy Chat for an honest conversation about childhood allergies, parenting, advocacy and gradually giving children the confidence to step out into the world.

What if they don't get it right the first time?

That's okay!

Dance teaches little ones that it's perfectly fine to have a go, make mistakes and try again.

Every new step is a chance to practise perseverance, build confidence and discover that tricky things can become easier with time. 💪💕

This month instead of franchisee of the month we are celebrating Ash, our amazing Social Media guru and VA, in recognition of all her hard work. One of our franchisees sent us this…

"Ash has been so helpful over the past week with communications around Sling Tots graphics and content, as well as creating 10 posts for me to use for SEND, which has been such a huge help.

Especially during the busy summer holidays, when it’s so hard to find the time to fit work in as a single mum trying to juggle everything, it’s made such a difference!

Obviously, I’ve said thank you to her myself, but I just felt I needed to pass this on to you too. I think sometimes the little things can go unnoticed, and she really does deserve a big thank you and some recognition for everything she’s been doing. ❤️ xx"

So here it is… thank you Ash for keeping all our social media accounts going and for everything you do behind the scenes- from emails to newsletters and blog posts. We couldn’t do it without you 🥰

New class = new friends!

Dance is a wonderful way for little ones to practise those all-important social skills.

Sharing space, taking turns, joining in together and celebrating each other all help children feel more comfortable around others.

And of course… making new friends along the way! 💕✨

Dance helps little voices grow too!

Dance classes aren't just about moving to music. Children hear new words, follow instructions, communicate with others and learn to express themselves.

From learning new dance vocabulary to finding the confidence to use their voice, there are so many little learning moments happening in every class. 💕

On World Alzheimer’s Day, we join the global movement to raise awareness, show support, and celebrate the power of connection. 🌍

At Tappy Toes, we’re proud to bring integrated dance sessions into Care Homes, where music and movement create magical moments that transcend age and memory. ❤️

Dance sparks joy, awakens memories and encourages connection, not just for little ones, but for grandparents and care home residents too. 👶👵🎶

This World Alzheimer’s Month, let’s keep moving, smiling and creating moments of magic together.

If you’d like to bring the MAGIC of Tappy Toes to your loved ones care home, just get in touch with us today!

💪 Watch their confidence grow!

That first class might feel a little daunting, but seeing your little one find their feet, join in and proudly show you what they’ve learned is so special. 🥰

Dance gives children a safe, fun space to try, make mistakes, try again and discover what they can do.

✨ New term. New challenges. Growing confidence.
