Little Gumnuts - Nature Inspired Education Programs
At Little Gumnuts, children are offered many opportunities to socialise and interact. “Free” or unstructured play is how children learn about the world. Play is also an avenue in which social skills develop. Creating something together, sharing and playing a game together are all examples of the skills children are developing during outdoor play. Good social skills enable children to have positive interaction with others.

Dance Creations - love in motion
Dance is movement in time - Dance is movement with quality - Dance is movement through space
Dance Creations, a space where your child will be nurtured, encouraged and inspired, through our unique and holistic way of teaching ballet and contemporary dance classes.
We teach much more than just movement. We aspire to create an experience for your child where they feel supported, accepted and able to grow in confidence, so they can embody the art of love in motion …
Our vision is to plant seeds of self-love, one child at a time. By inspiring beautiful loving human beings to live their full potential with purpose and courage whilst following their dreams.
Our Values
Love... as a state of being, in the joy & wonder of it all ...
Acceptance ... simply being OK with it all, as is ...
Sacredness ... creating a space of mutual joy & respect
Wisdom ... trusting our innate knowing
Kindness ... is all about the love and care we provide for others
Creativity "the quality to create or invent something". Creativity is enhanced and encouraged via improvisations and exercises which encompass the understanding of music, spatial relationships and the quality of movement. We provide opportunities for the students to explore the many ways their body can move, through time, with weight, in space and flow, working in groups or individually.
We believe that everyone will bring their own special gifts to class, and that the 'technique' of ballet is just a means to an end. Dancing is an art form and I have had many students who are not blessed with the perfect physique for ballet, yet they are beautiful, creative and expressive dancers; the movement starts from within. If your child wants to dance, bring them along, don't be put off by all the myth about ballet - It is fun!
Artistry is what makes a dancer beautiful to watch. We encourage our students to develop artistry through creative movement, improvisation and enhancing their musicality. These skills allow the children to think for themselves so they become more grounded and aware as dancers. We train the body as an instrument for movement.
