Meet the Mama behind Itsy Bitsy 💫

I thought I would say hello and introduce myself to anyone new here 👋🏻

My name is Sam and I am the founder and creative director of Itsy Bitsy Dance.

Im a mummy of three, dance teacher and a coffee addict. You will either find me teaching an Itsy Bitsy Dance class or serving coffees at Itsy Bitsyccino.

I created Itsy Bitsy Dance four years ago after teaching in lots of dance & theatre schools across the uk. It’s a combination of my passion for teaching dance and being a mum of three. I wanted to create a different type of children’s dance class to what was out there. Having experience as both a teacher running a class and a mummy attending one, I felt there was something missing. I wanted to make the classes current with a street dance syllabus and also create a community for the grown ups attending the class with a coffee club.

After establishing our classes we wanted to create our own space for our ever growing community. Somewhere to not only bring their little ones to attend an Itsy Bitsy class, but a space to connect with like minded parents over a tasty barista coffee. This space is known as Itsy Bitsyccino. We are nearly two years into our Itsy Bitsyccino chapter and it’s been an exciting adventure.

Across my own classes and our franchise’s we are now bopping and dancing with hundreds of tiny dancers a week. Not only do we get to teach and introduce the magical world of dance to all our amazing tiny dancers, but we also get to be apart of the ever growing community of Itsy Bitsy grown ups.

It really is the best job ❤️

Tiny dancers 🎤

We caught up with some of our tiny dancers after class this week to asked how dance makes them feel 🖤

How will Miss Sam do?

We asked our Junior crew to disguise their voices to see if Miss Sam can guess who’s who.

Everyday I’m shufflin 🎶

Super proud of these little tappers aka the purple crew 💜

Checking in with my tiny dancers🧘‍♀️

With my after school classes I always begin class by checking in with my dancers to see how the are feeling and sense the vibe for class. Today I was going to film a bit of fun mini video with them, mic’d myself up, but during our check in there was some big feelings happening and I knew I had to switch up how I was going to approach and teach this evenings class.

This class are aged between 4 & 5 and only just started school in September. They have had a lot of big changes going on, along with moving up to big class with us, without the support of their parents in the room.

With all this going on they are also in the midst of the busiest time of year and term at school. Whilst the festive period is exciting there is so much to keep up with and it can just get a bit overwhelming. From nativity plays, carol services and a busy social calendar. It can just all get incredibly busy and bit of a sensory overload for them.

We all have good & bad days, us grown ups are just a little better at hiding it. So I would just ask that we are super patient with these incredible little humans & let them feel their big feelings ❤️

Mic’d up Monday 🎤

We put a mic on our dancer Jasmine during class. Here’s what we picked up.

Miss Sam clearly doesn’t need a mic 🤣
