babyballet® Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud Five Valleys held their annual Starmakers show at Ribston Hall High school in Gloucester. This was the highlight of the year for many toddlers and young children after learning to dance with babyballet®, who provide contemporary dance classes for kids.

Over 80 babyballet stars aged between 3 and 6 years old bowled over more than 350 excited parents and family members on Saturday 23^rd February for a brilliantly performed, professional pantomime style dance show.

babyballet® characters Twinkle and Teddy the adorable bears, Flutterstar the Fairy, Chuck the Cowboy and Grandad Jack, the King of the Castle in the Sky, joined all of the children on stage in this wonderful performance, where they thoroughly enjoyed dancing for their audience.

During their Big Day Out, the babyballet characters visited the zoo and loved the sights of the elephants and cheeky monkeys. Exhausted, they went for a little nap with Twinkle and Teddy the bears before hitting the beach to build sandcastles. After all that excitement, they went home to the Castle in the Sky for a party with all the babyballet princesses and princes. The elegant swan princesses and princes followed as well as a group of lively tap dancers before the big babyballet finale.

The audience were delighted as they clapped and even danced along at times!

Leanne Thompson, principal of babyballet® Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud Five Valleys commented,

“Having owned my babyballet franchise for 2 years now I was so excited to be able to put on our very first show for all our wonderful babyballet families and celebrate babyballet, and what we have achieved over the last 2 years. For me personally this was my biggest achievement to date for babyballet Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud Five Valleys and I just wanted to personally say thank you to all our babyballet families, for bringing your children along to classes each week and your constant support. I felt so proud and emotional on the day of our show at what has been achieved over the last 2 years. I’m very excited to continue growing babyballet Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud Five Valleys and spreading the magic to many more little stars.”
