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.

New Classes – coming soon:

We are constantly adding to our timetable as we want to provide as many fun babyballet classes in your area as we can. All of the classes in the ‘coming soon’ tab are scheduled to start as soon as we have a minimum of 6 people interested, why not take a look and register your interest now. Nothing to pay now and we will add you to the waiting list and be in touch once we hit the magic number 6!

Please see timetable below:

Tots: 6 - 18 months

This is a ballet and sensory play class suitable for children aged 6 - 18 months. Your little one does not need to be walking but good head control is essential.

Tinies: 18m - 3 years

This is a ballet class suitable for children aged 18 months - 3 years and the main carer fully participates in the class with their dancing star.

Tappers: 3 years+

This is an additional tap dancing class suitable for children aged 3+ years that are enrolled in Movers & Groovers.

Movers: 3 & 4 years

This is a ballet class suitable for children aged 3-4.5 years. Parents sit and watch (may be invited to leave the room in some areas - franchise dependent) so that the dancing star can be encouraged to be more independent.

Groovers: 4.5 - 6 years

This is a ballet class suitable for children in Reception and Year 1. We kindly ask that parents wait outside the room so that their dancing star can be encouraged to be more independent.

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 £5.50 per class for babyballet tots, £5.75 per class for babyballet tinies, movers and £6 per class for groovers, payable in half term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for movers and groovers starting at £2.75 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

Miss Emma – Teacher

Hi, I’m Miss Emma  and I have been dancing since I was 2.5 years old. I started dancing doing ballet, tap, modern, contemporary, jazz and many many more styles of dance throughout the years. I’ve had incredible opportunities dancing on London theatre stages, Wembley and many places in and around Bradford. I’ve trained as a dance teacher at the British Ballet Organisation, have a level 3 childcare and have spent a lot of time in and out of schools and nurseries enjoying looking after little ones.  I’m so looking forward to teaching your little ones! My passion is dance and I love little children so bringing my passions together is my dream. I love that moment when children get it and begin to explore and enjoy all the things babyballet has to offer. 

Miss Casey – Teacher

Miss Casey-Jade attended her first freestyle Dance class at the age of 6 and did many shows and competed across the UK up until the age of 18. After leaving school at 16 she attended Leeds City College to study my level 3 diploma in dance. Whilst at college she furthered her knowledge in dance and learned many other styles such as lyrical, ballet, jazz and commercial as well as also doing a little bit of musical theatre. After College she went to University to Study Dance and performance at Bucks New University. She is now doing an apprenticeship and has completed her level 2 & 3 in Childcare and currently works in a nursery setting.

Whilst at school, she completed ISTD examinations and regularly performed in local theatre productions. At university, she formed and captained both Tap and Modern dance teams, and introduced beginner classes to the dance society to make it more accessible. She was also lucky enough to take classes with a former Mistress of the Royal Ballet, and was on the Ballet Society committee. Miss Hannah has choreographed Musicals for her local community and also appeared in a number of music videos. She now adjudicates at an annual dance competition in Wales that receives multiple entrants from participants in the Dance World Cup, and has taught at a dance school in Bradford before joining babyballet®️.

“Even before my daughter Bunnie was born, I could not wait for her to start ballet classes! From the moment Bunnie started at babyballet, both she and I have been thrilled to be part of this magical experience. Her teacher is so attentive, tailoring each class to the level and ability of each child. The 30 minutes we spend together in babyballet is a precious and memorable time.”
