Welcome to babyballet

Edinburgh South

Hi! I’m Miss Charlotte and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to the children of Edinburgh South.

How to book a babyballet class:

Our babyballet class timetable is listed below, where you can book a three-week introductory trial for just £15 today.

The trial is the perfect introduction to babyballet, giving you and your child the chance to try out our ballet classes before signing up to a full term. Where spaces are available, the babyballet trial can start at any time during a term. Upon completion of the trial, you will be invoiced for the remaining sessions.

Which babyballet class should I book

Our preschool dance syllabus has been carefully designed to ensure each child is taught the principles of ballet and tap at the right developmental level while boosting confidence, and of course having lots of fun.

Our programme fits well within the UK Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, with our classes providing the opportunity for babies and young children to learn and develop key life skills in a healthy and safe environment.

When signing your child up for a three-week trial, you will need to ensure they are within the age parameters outlined for each stage. If in doubt, please start in the lower age group to begin with as your teacher will liaise with you should your child need to move up a stage.

After registering, you will be sent an enrolment email full of information that will let you know what to expect. Please allow up to 48 hours to receive this email and double check your junk or spam folder!

Becoming a babyballet member

Following the introductory trial, you will receive an email containing all the details you need to continue with our classes and become a babyballet member. Along with term dates and information about how to make future payments to secure your place, you will be sent an invoice for the remaining weeks in the current term plus your one-off babyballet joining fee. Your little star will receive a Welcome Pack filled with fun and benefits for both you and them to enjoy.

Our fees are £6.00 per class for babyballet tots, tinies, movers and groovers, payable in half term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for movers and groovers starting at £2.50 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

As a child I anced at Morningside Dance Acadamy aswell as attended Lothian Youth Arts and Musical Company.  I love teaching all of my babyballet stars and love to then see them go on to other schools when they are too old for babyballet and further their dance experience. I am excited to see my franchise grow and grow in the future.

"I discovered babyballet® nearly 5 years ago now, when I first became a teacher for the pre-school ballet classes. I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere, syllabus and how much fun the dance classes were to teach.

When moving away from Manchester I did not want to give up teaching babyballet®, so I decided to take the leap to set up my own babyballet® Franchise ... And it's been the best decision I've ever made! Its opened me up to a world of new friends and support. I find that it's great to be my own boss, but have the support right there, whenever I need it!"
