Celebrating 10 Years of babyballet® with Miss Natasha
This February, we are delighted to celebrate a very special milestone as Miss Natasha, franchisee of babyballet Winsford, Northwich & Holmes Chapel, marks 10 years of running her babyballet® dance school.
Miss Natasha’s babyballet® journey began at a turning point in her life. After spending 11 years dancing professionally, she returned home unsure of what direction to take next. Discovering babyballet® changed everything.
“What I loved most was the joy it brought to parents and their children – and the way it made me feel teaching it,” she explains. “It was just everything I wanted, and I instantly loved the concept.”
Ten years on, that passion has translated into an incredible legacy within her local community. Miss Natasha has taught hundreds of children in her hometown, many of whom she has watched grow up, move on and continue their love of dance.
One of the most remarkable aspects of her journey has been her commitment to giving back. Through taking part in every Tommy’s Danceathon, Miss Natasha and her dancers have raised an outstanding £21,501 for Tommy’s, supporting vital research and care for babies and families. She has also donated £560 to her local baby unit and, in 2019, secured funding from Taylor Wimpey to offer underprivileged children the opportunity to attend classes.
Community connection has always been at the heart of her franchise. For the past two years, Miss Natasha and her dancers have taken part in a beautiful Christmas performance at their local church, sharing the magic of babyballet® with parents and the wider community.
Alongside her business, Miss Natasha is a proud mum to Harper and Neve and babyballet® has supported her in achieving a positive work–life balance – something she values deeply.
Reflecting on her proudest achievement, Miss Natasha says:
“Realising I have done all this by myself – learning from knowing nothing and making it what it is today. I couldn’t have done it without the wonderful support of my family, especially my Dad.”
Looking ahead, the future is bright. Miss Natasha is expanding into Holmes Chapel and taking on a new teacher, opening the door to even more children experiencing the joy of babyballet®.
“I am so grateful to be part of such a wonderful company,” she says. “I’ve had many ups and downs, but I’ve made it through them all – and I’m really looking forward to what the future of my franchise holds.”
Happy 10th babyballet® anniversary, Miss Natasha – thank you for everything you do for your babyballet® stars, families and community. We’re tutu proud of everything you have achieved. Keep being your sparkly self.
