"babyballet is the one class we simply can't miss. Eliza loves it and when I see her smile when she pulls on her tutu, I love it too!" Sarah Butters, Leeds.

BABIES (6 - 12 months) & WALKERS (12-18 months)

Babies & Walkers classes are a musical playtime with singing, mime, toys and socialising for parent/carer and baby to enjoy together.

The introduction of movements, activities, props and musical instruments allow the little children to increase bodily awareness and self-control in a relaxed and caring environment. The classes also offer an excellent social aspect for parents and carers so you are sure to meet new friends at these welcoming sessions.

 TINY TOES (18 months - 3 years)

Toddlers and children are encouraged to develop and explore their ability to move, sing and dance further as they progress through the Tiny Toes syllabus. Still with their main carer by their side, these classes are lots of fun and involve lots of smiles and laughter! The basics of ballet are introduced. The dances and songs are thoroughly enjoyed by the little ones and the proud adults alike!

MINI MOVERS (3 - 4 years)

The Mini Movers Programme allows the children to enhance their movement, singing and imaginative ability further. Classes focus on developing gross motor skills, basic ballet, rhythm and confidence so that children feel comfortable in their surroundings and in their own natural ability. Classes are lots of fun and the children love dancing and and singing-a-long to the music. The children learn basic principles and social skills which will serve them well as they approach school age.

TOTS TAP (2 + years)

Tots Tap is suitable for children from 2 years upwards and can be combined with a babyballet class where available.Tap classes are a great form of exercise and the children love to make a noise in their tap shoes! Set to catchy songs, these classes are upbeat and lots of fun.

ACADEMY DANCE (4-16 years)

Once the children reach school age, the babyballet programme progresses into Academy Dance. Academy Dance classes will encourage and improve coordination, balance, self-control, rhythm, musical ability, posture and confidence to a higher level.

Academy Dance is for children and adults who love to dance but don't want to feel intimidated by joining a competitive class. These classes are welcoming, fun and a fantastic way to learn new dance routines as well as technique. You are assured a very warm welcome.
