Dance & Movement Incursions for Early Learning Centres in Canberra

Music, movement and a whole lot of joy, brought straight to your centre.

Kate Ford Fitness runs fun, play-based dance and movement incursions for early learning centres, preschools and childcare services across Canberra.

Based in Weston Creek, we come to you, anywhere in the ACT.

Every session is built around your children and your room. A typical incursion includes:
- A welcome dance and warm-up to get little bodies moving
- Action songs and rhythm games that build coordination and listening skills
- Simple dance routines children can learn and show off
- A calm-down and stretch to finish, so children return to the room settled
Sessions are adapted for toddlers through to preschoolers, and for children of all abilities. Session length is planned around your group's ages and daily routine.
Our incursions support the EYLF, especially children's physical wellbeing, their confidence, and their ability to communicate and express themselves through movement.
- Get in touch — via phone or the contact form below.
- We listen — we take the time to understand your community and your objectives.
- We design — together, we create a program that's engaging, inclusive and tailored to your group.
- We deliver — fun, confidence-building movement experiences your community will genuinely look forward to.
Every program is priced individually, based on factors like planning requirements, resources, class size and duration. Discounts may be available for longer-term engagements, repeat programs, or organisations running multiple sessions.

It's been such a delight watching my little girl grow in confidence through her dance, singing, and movement, thanks to Miss Kate's informed and fun teaching style. Once a shy little girl, she's now the first to jump up and teach her friends Zumba whenever one of 'Miss Kate's' songs comes on — no matter where we are!

Joanne, Daycare Mum
One of the best things at my children's day care centre was their Zumba lessons. My kids absolutely loved the dancing and the music, and were always excited on Zumba days. Kate was so wonderful with the children and made every session fun and engaging — it was such a lovely activity for them, and something they genuinely looked forward to.

Tess, Daycare Parent
Having Kate come and do Zumba at our day care has been a game changer — my 2-year-old looks forward to his weekly dance and movement class (and of course, his stamp!). I used to work at the same day care, and Thursdays were normally our early pick-up day, right before Zumba began. Once I realised how much my son loved the class and seeing Kate, I was more than happy to rearrange our afternoon
