PRE-SCHOOL

TIPP TOES (BALLET)

Tipp-Toes is an exciting pre-school Ballet class for children from 18 months to 4 years old.
Tipp-Toes encourages rhythm, co-ordination, balance, colours, numbers, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping and much more.
Tipp-Toes is designed to encourage babies and young children to express themselves in a fun imaginative way. The 40 minute ballet class incorporates music, song and dance in an enjoyable and energetic manner with under 3’s in the Little Toes and over 3’s in the Mini Toes.

Little Toes (under 3's) is a Parent and Toddler class and Parents are encouraged to join in as much or as little as they want or that is required by your child. 
Mini Toes (over 3's) is for your little one to take part on their own and parents are able to sit and watch.
 
All classes are structured using several props including instruments, flags, wands, scarves, ribbons, dollies and more. We use actions songs, nursery rhymes and television favourites making your little ones dance experience an unforgettable time.

A 3 Week Taster is £10 and this gives you and your child the opportunity to decide whether ballet classes are right for you both. Usually by the end of the trial you will know whether it is for your child or not. After the trial, classes are £5.50 each, but for the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, the children are able to access four classes a week for this price. Classes run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays with Miss Sophie, Miss Jodie and Miss Sophie A.
