Hi! I’m Miss Becky and I’m delighted to bring the magic of babyballet dance classes to the children of Halifax.

How to book a babyballet class:

The babyballet class timetable is listed below, where you can book a three-week introductory trial for just £20.00 today.

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.

Nothing to pay now and we will add you to the waiting list and be in touch once we hit the magic number 6!

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 £6.50 per class for babyballet tots, tinies and movers. £6.75 for babyballet groovers class, payable in half term blocks in advance. Tappers classes are available for movers and groovers starting at £2.50 per week. There is no need to sign up via the website again.

Miss Becky

Miss Becky - babyballet Halifax

Miss Becky trained at the well-respected Dorothy Stevens School of Dance in Lightcliffe, from the age of 3 to 18. It was there where her love for dance and dance teaching was born, and Miss Becky feels incredibly lucky to have taught alongside Mrs Stevens during her last two years at the school.

Having lived abroad in Spain and later France, for several months whilst completing her degree, Miss Becky continued to take classes in ballet, tap and modern dance. Upon her return to Halifax, she was certain that she wanted to open her own dance school.

After teaching for babyballet® for a year, Miss Becky was delighted to become the franchise owner for babyballet® Halifax.

“Dance is one of the best parts of my life and I can’t remember a time where I haven’t danced! I am always excited to share my love of dance with the younger generation through the joy and sparkles of babyballet®!”

I am so excited to be becoming a new member of the team and looking forward to dancing with all you little babyballet stars!”
