WHY CHOOSE MINI BALLET?

​​

Mini Ballet is designed for girls and boys aged 2–6 years and provides a gentle, engaging introduction to classical ballet.

Classes focus on:

• Basic ballet positions and posture

• Balance, turnout and alignment (age-appropriate)

• Musicality and rhythm

• Expressive movement and storytelling

• Listening skills and spatial awareness

Our program is inclusive and developmentally mindful, catering for children at different stages — from a child taking their first dance class to one preparing for more structured learning as they approach school age.
