Welcome to babyballet

Biggleswade and Bedford

Hi! I’m Miss Lauren and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to the children of Biggleswade and Bedford.

How to book a babyballet class:

Our babyballet class timetable is listed below, where you can book a three-week introductory trial for just £18.

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 £8.50 per class for babyballet Groovers and £8.00 per class for tots, tinies and movers, payable in half term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for movers and groovers starting at £3.75 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

Miss Lauren – Franchisee and teacher

babyballet Biggleswade_ Headshot Star_ Miss Lauren where children learn to dance

I started training as a ballet dancer from the age of 3, completing all of my RAD exams in my hometown of Barry Island. I began a very successful performing career spanning 15 years, after appearing on ITV’s ‘Give My Mate A Break’ hosted by Les Dennis. After performing all over the world on cruise ships I landed the first of my UK Tours in ‘Thoroughly Modern Millie’ followed by ‘Buddy Holly-The Musical’. I then got my dream role in the West End joining the cast of ‘We Will Rock You’ performing alongside the legendary Brian May.
I am now a proud mummy to my son and an accomplished Voice Over Artist. I have appeared on your TV in adverts and narrations for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Nick Jr, Channel 5 and many more. I was the voice for the new ‘My Little Pony’ Equestrian Toy and ‘Barbie Dreamtopia’ appearing on all children’s TV channel and cinema. I am delighted to share my talents and enthusiasm for dance and singing with the young stars of Biggleswade and Bedford!
