Welcome to babyballet

Colchester

Hi! I’m Miss Kelly and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to children in Colchester.

How to book a babyballet class:

Our babyballet class timetable is listed below, where you can book a three-week introductory trial for just £20.

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.

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!

Term Dates for this Academic Year are:

SRING TERM 1 – 4th January – 6th April
No Class 17th – 23rd February

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.

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 £7.00 per class for babyballet tots, £7.50 per class for babyballet tinies and movers £7.75 per class for groovers, payable in half term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for movers and groovers starting at £2 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts, 1 year of BA Honours in Musical Theatre and IDTA Associate and have performed in many shows!
My babyballet journey began over a decade ago working as a teacher and I fell in love with babyballet! In 2019 I took over the Colchester franchisee. Having taught thousands of babyballet stars over the years, it’s the best job in the world! I am extremely passionate about babyballet, teaching not just ballet but confidence, counting, body parts, rhythm, posture and so much more.

“Elsa-May has been attending babyballet since she was 18 months old and has just a few classes left until she leaves to go to “big school”. She has absolutely loved babyballet and Miss Kelly has been a brilliant teacher. Miss Kelly is so passionate and enthusiastic about what she does and how she managed to teach the class 3 dances for their recent ballet show I will never know!”
