Welcome to babyballet

Crystal Palace and Forest Hill

Hi! I’m Miss Laura and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to the children of Crystal Palace and Forest Hill. 

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.

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 membership fee. This covers your child’s insurance for the class, together with a membership pack. You can read more about what’s included here.

Our fees are £7.50 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 £3.00 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

Meet the franchisee

Miss Laura – Franchisee and teacher

CrystalPalace_Star babyballet franchisee

Having taught babyballet since 2011 and enjoying it so much, I decided to open my own Franchise in March 2017 and am loving every minute of watching it grow and introducing more and more little stars to the magical world of babyballet. My passion for dance has only grown from her very first ballet class at the age of 2!
I was awarded a full scholarship to train professionally at Cambridge Performing Arts under the direction of Theresa Kerr, training in a variety of dance genres, singing, and acting. Graduating with a diploma in Musical Theatre and Dance, I went on to perform in numerous shows including Sleeping Beauty in Dubai as the Wicked Witch, Charity in Sweet Charity and Velma in Chicago. Before college I gained top qualifications and trained in Ballet, Modern and Tap syllabuses as well as Greek, National, Lyrical and Street.

we're recruiting ...

"My daughter has been with Miss Laura at babyballet now for the past year and has thoroughly loved it. Miss Laura is a kind, patient teacher who knows all the children by name and treats them fairly and remembers each of their little quirks. My daughter learnt lots whilst having a fun time and I would highly recommend her lessons."

babyballet Mummy, Crystal Palace

"I took my daughter for a three week trial and by week three – what a transformation in her! She’s more confident about being in a group and herself where she would normally shy away. Miss Laura always has time for each of the children in her class and every week I see another child bloom in confidence. My daughter is now a member and looks forward to every class and doesn’t stop talking about it inbetween. It’s a truly magical class and I highly recommend it."
