Welcome to babyballet

Tameside

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

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

Meet the franchisee – Miss Megan

Miss Megan, Franchise Owner for babyballet Denton, Tameside and Stalybridge.

I have loved dancing and performing since I can remember. I studied dance at college and went on to attend a musical theatre school where I was part of many productions. After this, I was part of different events such as being accepted as a Rugby League Rockette cheerleader and performing in London and other big stadiums. I then found my love for aerial hoop and started teaching children’s aerial hoop and silks classes. I have never been the most confident of dancers and aerial really helped to boost my confidence.

I then had my little girl and took her to a babyballet tots class which I thought was amazing! Years later I decided to set up my own babyballet franchise as I felt like the classes were so welcoming for me and my daughter and I love how it’s all about the fun!! I’m excited for many more years of doing what I love.

"I have been a babyballet teacher for almost eight years, and I thoroughly love my job. Working with preschool children is so rewarding. I have seen so many children grow in confidence, make new friends, learn new things and find a love of dance from an early age. The syllabus is structured so that every exercise stimulates the children in a different way, which is excellent. I hope to keep teaching for many years to come!"
