We offer a progressive early years learning programme through dance for babies and children from 6 months to 7 years of age.
With carefully designed stages for every age and developmental milestone, we have a class to support your child as they learn, grow and flourish.
Tiny Toes Ballet is the UK's only early years dance programme fully integrated with the EYFS curriculum, created by a professionally trained classical ballet dancer, qualified ballet teacher and experienced primary school teacher.
From first steps to confident movement, every tiny toes stage is carefully designed to support your child’s development. As your child grows, their classes evolve — introducing new skills, music, imagination and independence. Families typically continue through multiple stages of the programme as their child progresses.
The programme begins with Tip Toes for babies from 6 months and progresses through Twinkle Toes, Talent Toes, Twirlers and Spinners, with each stage carefully building on the skills and foundations developed previously.
