Treasuring each child's journey from their very first day
Little people, BIG imaginations. Our Petite Performers classes are designed with the littlest of performers in mind. From Ballet/Tap, Ballet/Hip-Hop to Didi Drama & Musical Theatre; you can pick or choose which class best suits your child, or they can even do them all! We start as young as 12 months, which means mommy, daddy or nanny can join in too!
12-18 months & 1.5-3yr classes
You & me (40 minutes)
Exploring movement and music through the magical world of dance – in these 40 minute, weekly classes, we use props, games and songs to teach your Petite Performer just how much fun they can have with their little bodies. From the tops of their heads to their tippy toes! With mummy, daddy or nanny's encouragement, our Petite Performers really do shine.
Parent/Caregiver participation required
2.5-3.5yr (40 min) & 3-4yr (45 min) classes
Ballet & Tap or Ballet & Hip-hop combo
Our friend, Bella Ballet twirls your child through stories and games, opening up the world of creative movement using your child’s imagination, personalised songs, props and dance vocabulary. Then it's onto either splashing in puddles with Tilly Tap, or grooving as far as the moon with Harry Hip-Hop. Your little one will sparkle with joy, making magical memories whilst learning lots of wonderful skills like counting, balancing, coordination, taking turns and so much more. Watch as your Petite Performer's confidence really does soar!
2.5-3.5yrs - Transition class - parents may go in the room for the first couple of classes to help them settle
3-4yrs - For kids only! Children should be OK heading in on their own
4-6yr & 5-7yr classes
Ballet & Tap, Ballet & Hip-hop, or Hip-Hop & Acro combo
Classes will follow the same structure as the terrific Petite Performers pre-school classes, whilst enhancing your child's love for all things performing. It is here that we introduce more advanced technique, vocabulary and choreography, and allow children to develop their articulation, musicality & rhythm.
Whether it’s Ballet, Tap, Acro or Hip-Hop, your child will come skipping out, with memories and friendships made, full of pride and a sense of achievement.
These classes are structured to carefully transition students from the Petite Performers’ pre-school syllabus, into Primary level, Imperial Society Of Teachers Of Dancing (I.S.T.D) - the renowned teaching curriculum used across the UK and Europe.
