Other Info

Our unique syallbus includes 4 stages of ballet classes:

TOTS (6 - 18 months)
The Tots class is a magical musical experience for parents/carers and babies and young toddlers, to enjoy together. Using a combination of movement, music and props/toys, the Tots class is a great way to enhance your baby’s physical, communication and social/emotional development. The class provides a stimulating yet gentle introduction to song and dance, improving body awareness and self-control.

TINIES (18 months - 3 years)
The Tinies class introduces little ones to the basics of ballet using movement, play and song.
Building on the movement and songs taught in the Tots class, babyballet Tinies develop their physical and communication skills in this fun-filled, lively environment. Parents are still very much involved, as the children learn to move in time to the music whilst stimulating their imaginations and learning to count through song.

MOVERS (3 and 4 years)
The babyballet Movers classes encourages preschool children to combine their imaginations with dance using movement and song.
The preschool years are crucial in your little one’s development. Our Movers class focuses on the further physical development of your child through dance, in combination with the use of imaginative storytelling. The Movers class is more than just dancing – it also gives children the chance to learn valuable skills by responding positively to both the teacher and the other children in the class.

GROOVERS (4.5 - 6 years)
The final stage of babyballet is our Groovers class which focuses on improving co-ordination, self control and social skills, in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.
This school age class is a perfect way to bolster the preschool learning programme by working on core development skills such as spatial awareness, numeracy and communication, as well as furthering their dance technique through a more structured ballet program. Using simple steps as the basis of the class, children learn ballet in a friendly and non-competitive environment.

I absolutely adore my job & am incredibly passionate about creating a safe & fun place for young children to fall in love with dance. I truly believe all children (& adults!) thrive in a positive environment and ballet is for EVERYONE who wants to enjoy it. So I spend my life living to spread magic in others✨✨

𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴🩰
I have now taught babyballet for almost 5 years! I trained in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre (including ballet studies) for 3 years & began teaching preschool ballet in Australia. I have worked with young children all my career across many industries including Education, Entertainment and Childcare, and have now been spreading the babybalelt magic in Reading and Henley for 3 years alongside our wonderful team of amazing and qualified teachers.
