Welcome to babyballet

Congleton, Crewe and Sandbach

Hi! I’m Miss Ellie and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to the children of Congleton, Crewe and Sandbach!

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 vary slightly by location. Classes are £7 per session for babyballet Tots in Crewe and Sandbach or £7.50 in Congleton, £7.50 for babyballet Tinies and Movers in Crewe and Sandbach or £8 in Congleton, and £8 for babyballet Groovers in Crewe and Sandbach or £8.50 in Congleton. Fees are payable in half-term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for Movers and Groovers starting at £3.00 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

Meet the franchisee

Miss Ellie – Franchisee and teacher

I began dancing at the age of 5 when my mum took me to our local dance school in Macclesfield, as I was a shy child and she hoped it would help build my confidence. That early experience is why I now have such a passion for helping children reach their full potential and grow in confidence. My training included ballet, and I went on to complete examinations up to professional grade.

At 18, I was awarded a scholarship to study Musical Theatre at SLP College in Leeds, where I trained for three years and graduated in 2012 with a Level 6 Trinity College London Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre.

From 2012 to 2015, I worked onboard Thomson Cruise Ships as Dance Captain, performing and travelling around the Mediterranean. Between 2015 and 2020, I performed with several UK theatre companies, touring nationally as well as internationally across Scandinavia, India, and Holland – with a career highlight being a performance at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End.

In 2016, I began teaching babyballet® classes for a franchise owner alongside my performing work. That same year, I also took on the role of Operations Manager for a small entertainment company. It was during this time I realised I would love to run my own business. Combining my love of dance and working with children, becoming a babyballet® franchisee was the easiest and most natural decision.

I became the proud owner of babyballet® Wilmslow and Macclesfield in December 2021. Over the following years, I expanded into new areas – first Congleton, then South West Peaks, and most recently Crewe and Sandbach.

In 2024, I also became a mummy to my very own little babyballet® star – a moment that made my connection to babyballet® even more special. Becoming a parent has only deepened my passion for providing a magical, nurturing space where little ones can shine.

Overtime my little girl has gradually picked up the dance moves, her coordination has improved alot.

We look forward to babyballet class every week, i love watching my little girl have so much fun!"
