DanceBugs ballet classes are a great way for children to learn the basics of ballet in a fun and pressure free environment. Suitable for all abilities and open to both boys and girls! Children can achieve their rosettes in our Dainty Dancers classes and work towards their IDTA qualifications from the age of 1 if they wish!
Pre-school class for children from 3-5 years
Our ballet classes are a magical and fun introduction to ballet for young children. We teach children ballet through play and focus on developing their gross motor skills whilst teaching them the basics of ballet and rhythm.
Using creative themes we encourage visualisation and creativity for children to express themselves through music.
We work on strengthening children’s ankles and improving their posture and balance, getting them ready to progress to our Tiny Twirlers. At this age, parents are welcome to participate in the class or simply sit back and watch… whatever if best for you child can work for us!
For 5-7 years
When a child becomes a Tiny Twirler we start to focus more on technique and presentation of work, learning new dance movements and leading towards end of term performances for children to showcase what they have learnt.
These classes are still lots of fun and pressure free and are open for all children to join, whether they have started in Dainty Dancers or are if they are new to dance!
Watch your child blossom in confidence as they move to the music and develop their technique.
