Ballerina Bear
A first taste of ballet — musicality, balance and imagination, with a bear to follow. Runs from six months with a grown-up (Ballerina Bear & Me) up to age four.
Ballerina BearEarly learning classes
Our pre-school classes use Dancing Dots, a syllabus created by our own principal Jenny Corcoran with her business partner Jenni Nolan-Owens, and now taught across the UK. It's built around two characters — a bear and a hippo — because a two-year-old will happily follow a story long before they'll follow an instruction.
Classes are play-led and short by design. Nobody is expected to stand still.
Hip Hop Hippo
The livelier sibling — rhythm, coordination and a lot of bouncing. Also from six months with a grown-up through to age four.
Hip Hop HippoWhat to expect
Bring your child in comfortable clothes they can move in. No uniform is needed to try a class, and bare feet or soft shoes are both fine. Grown-ups stay in the room for the youngest classes and are gently eased out as children get older.
