My 3 year old toddler started attending Liz's ballet classes around a year ago as he loves to dance and re-enact things. Although he's usually been the only boy in the class, he absolutely loves it and now wears his tiny toes tshirt and ballet shoes with pride to match with Miss Liz. The classes have great structure and content, and we love that each term there is a new theme which captures my little boy's interests and imagination. Miss Liz is great at allowing the toddlers to learn in their own ways and letting them express themselves, as not all toddlers behave the same. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone with a toddler, and especially boys. Dance isn't just for girls!

FAQs
What happens in a tiny toes ballet class?
Each term we have a different theme with sensory-rich props and resources to engage children and to aid their all-round development and knowledge by incorporating into classes the EYFS curriculum (Early Years Foundation Stage). They will begin the class with a warm-up and carry out a number of imaginative ballet exercises related to the termly theme of our childrens ballet classes. The class then focuses on coordination, poise, spinning, stretching, balancing, hopping, jumping, galloping and skipping. In the last section, we help pupils to explore their rhythm, imagination and creativity as we explore dance through the captivating ‘storybox’.
Do you offer a Trial?
We know that children like to try different things. We understand that paying upfront can be an expensive exercise if they decide our children's ballet classes are not for them.
We allow you to join the term at any time and also offer a full refund on the remaining weeks of the term if after trialling for two weeks, the classes are not for you.
Do parents participate in the class?
tiny toes ballet classes are a great opportunity to spend quality time with your child. Parents must take part with their child in the tip toes (6-18 months) and twinkle toes (18 months- 2.5 years) classes. For our talent toes classes (2.5- 4 years) parents' participation is encouraged but not essential. Parents must be in the room with their child but they can watch if they wish. Children attend Twirlers (3.5-5 years) and Spinners (5-7 years) without parents.
Can my child join mid-term?
Yes, your child is welcome to join at any point during the term providing there is space. Fees are then calculated on a pro-rata basis. Our programme is designed around a spiral curriculum. Ideas and concepts are revisited and so joining at any point of the term is fine.
How long does each session last?
The ballet classes last for 40 minutes. Tap classes range from 20-30 minutes. Combined ballet and tap classes last for one hour.
What training do the teachers have?
All our teachers must pass a rigorous assessment before they can become tiny toes teachers. They also take part in continual CPD throughout the year. All teachers have ballet qualifications and many are also experienced primary school teachers. Our teachers are trained in establishing a positive and safe environment in which active learning and progression can take place. All teachers are DBS checked, have paediatric first aid training and public liability insurance.
Is it for boys?
At tiny toes ballet we offer children’s ballet classes that are fun, stimulating, and based on themes that both boys and girls love. Children's ballet classes are a good source of fun and exercise, but also a creative outlet. Ballet for boys and girls allows children to express themselves in a fun, energetic and engaging way that is non-judgemental.
