Baby Ballet

PRE-SCHOOL BALLET CLASSES

These are fun for both boys and girls of all abilities aged 2-5yrs. Children benefit from the structure of a class and social skills, such as empathy, sharing, taking turns and cooperating with others, are important attributes for the development of happy and successful relationships and lifelong learning in all subjects.

Basic ballet and dance steps appropriate to the level of development, are introduced throughout the three level programme including jumps, skips, gallops, runs, walks and musicality. We also incorporate free expression and mime into the classes and the use of props such as scarves, ribbons and hoops add to the fun and learning process.
