Ballet Baby

Baby Ballet is designed for young children who have already discovered a love of ballet and want to begin preparing their bodies and minds for this dance style. It is suitable for children aged 3 to 5. Movement, games, body awareness and spatial awareness, group and individual work, emotional expression and interpretation, and concentration are some of the elements that introduce children to the world of dance.

Ballet technique is introduced through posture, muscular control, basic foot and arm positions, spatial awareness and age-appropriate terminology. Children explore some of ballet’s most fundamental movements while developing other skills such as musicality, energy, movement quality, facial and physical expression, and creativity.

Children should wear suitable ballet attire: a leotard, tights and ballet shoes. Their hair should be tied in a bun or, when this is not possible, held back with a headband so that it does not fall over their eyes.
