Top Tips for Your First Class:

Dancing can be thirsty work! Bring along a bottle of water and a healthy snack for after class.

Arrive early if you can. This will allow you time to park, find your venue, and will give your little one time to settle in the new environment. It’ll also give you the chance to meet and chat to grown-ups before the class too.

By learning through play, our qualified and welcoming teachers children the chance to dance in their own unique way, having fun and making friends along the way. For your added reassurance, all our ballet lessons are linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework (EYFSF), making them the perfect activity choice for you and your child.

Our preschool dance and ballet syllabus offers four stages of ballet dance classes, for young children aged 6 months to 6 years, plus a tap dancing class for children over 3 years. Our youngest little stars can join the Tots class from just 6 months old. These classes offer a gentle introduction to babyballet through a combination of movement, music and sensory play. As the syllabus progresses, the children in Tinies (18 months to 3 years) are encouraged to develop their movement and communication skills with increasing independence but still with their grown-up close by. The basics of ballet are introduced through our bespoke babyballet® songs, classic nursery rhymes, imaginative stories and musical instruments.

Launched last year in a number of schools across the UK, babyballet Shine is a SEND specific programme that allows children with special educational needs and disabilities to be in a dance space where they can express themselves and increase their body awareness through sensory creativity and dance. Our Shine classes continue to grow in success and popularity. Get in touch with your local babyballet school to find out more!

Our programme and syllabus has been carefully designed by leading preschool dance and ballet experts. Our classes provide the opportunity for babies and young children to learn to dance and develop key life skills in a healthy, sociable, caring and safe environment. We're so much more than just a dance class. Are you ready to experience the magic of babyballet?
