Baby Ballet (18 months – 3 Years old)

A fun and imaginative introduction to the world of Ballet. We explore music, rhythms and movement in a gentle, encouraging way. Your little one will pick up skills, having fun along the way and making new friends.

Reception Ballet (3 – 6 Years old)

In this class, we work a little more on the basics of ballet. We introduce a little barre work and an enjoyable centre practice with traveling steps and imaginative sequences. We work on good posture and basic ballet techniques while nurturing artistry to build a strong foundation for a healthy and happy dancer. Your little dancer will pick up many useful skills from the ballet class, listening to instructions, watching for visual cues, taking turns, and working as a group.

One parent/carer can accompany the child to the studio. Once the class begins, we kindly ask that you wait outside the building. Please return to the studio at 5:25 pm for the pick-up. Please ensure your child has been to the toilet before class.
