Every week we meet grown-ups who tell us they've followed our page for years.
Some found us when they were pregnant.
Some when their babies were tiny.
And now they're walking through our doors with their very own babyballet stars 🩰💗
It's such a privilege to be part of those early childhood memories.
From those first cuddles and classes to the moment they bravely tiptoe forward on their own or onto a stage.

If you didn't think you needed a tutu...
This is your sign 💗🩰
As they are only little once.
Tiny ballet shoes.
A tutu that's slightly too big.
Spinning around the living room for absolutely no reason.
One day they'll outgrow the tutu.
But you'll never forget how excited they were to wear it ✨
And that's why we'll always be team tutu.
Available to purchase online or via the office.
Come and take a little peek inside our babyballet classes at Braintree Town Hall on Tuesdays,
Fridays and Saturdays.
This is what we see every week...
Little ones building up the courage to join in.
babyballet stars proudly collecting their props.
Tiny tiptoes, big smiles, and lots of imagination.
Because a babyballet class isn't about creating perfect little dancers.
It's about helping children build confidence, learn new skills, make friends, and discover the joy of
movement in a warm, welcoming environment.
From the first magic feet to the first time they make that little journey to their teacher on their own,
these are the moments that make our hearts so full.
At babyballet East Herts & West Essex, we're lucky enough to watch those little moments happen
every single day 🩰

Starting babyballet can feel exciting… and a little overwhelming for both you and your babyballet star
So here are our top 3 tips to help make those first few classes feel a little easier:
1. Don’t expect too much too soon
Your little one probably won’t join in with the whole class on week one and that’s completely normal.
Watching, wandering, and taking it all in is still learning. Usually our wonderful bears Teddy & Twinkle
will get them joining in at the end of class!
2. Practise at home
We have a fabulous YouTube channel filled with babyballet music and exercises, so your little one
can practise in their safe space and build confidence before class.
3. Read the information we send you or speak to your teacher We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Whether you’re unsure about uniforms, ballet shoes, settling in or how to join us as a full member …just ask 🤍
Starting something new takes time.
But once confidence starts to grow… it’s the most magical thing to watch 🩰✨

Our daughter has been attending babyballet classes for a few months now, having joined prior to her
turning 2 years old. She has thoroughly enjoyed these ballet classes since the moment we joined
with her practising the dance routines on her own accord throughout the week and jumping for joy
on the morning of the class.
The classes are run by such fabulous teachers who clearly have an expertise in this area but are also
so engaging with each and every child, celebrating successes throughout the routines by praising
children by their names. Our daughter will often talk about this on our way home.
My wife will often comment on how parents get involved too, which only reinforces the children’s
desire to participate, which all children do with such enthusiasm and smiles throughout. My wife and
I couldn’t recommend babyballet enough - it’s brought many smiles to our daughters face as well as
ours.

If you’ve ever wondered what really happens in a babyballet class…
It’s NOT rows of perfect little dancers, listening and concentrating the whole 35 minutes.
It’s
A child watching from their grown-up’s lap… then copying it all at home
Someone running across the room instead of standing in their spot
Tiptoes that turn into confident steps week by week
Little hands letting go… just for a second longer each time
Giggles, wobbles, and “almost got it” moments
Children learning to take turns, follow instructions, and be part of a group
Because what’s really happening in a babyballet class…is confidence being built.
At babyballet East Herts & West Essex, it’s never about getting it perfect. It’s about creating a space where your babyballet star can grow, explore, and feel proud of
themselves.
Book your 3-week trial now and come and see the magic for yourself.
Imagine this… watching your child bravely tiptoe into the middle of the class and feeling so proud you might just burst.
It starts with them holding your hand or glued to your lap. Just watching everything. Only joining
in a little when you do.
You wonder if they’ll ever get it.
And then one day… they do.
A tiny tiptoe into the middle in front of the whole class.
A little turn and they collected that prop all by themselves and then quick look back to check
you’re still there.
And your heart just… stops for a second.
Because you can see it.
They’re doing it.
They’re being brave.
Not to be dramatic… but starting babyballet really can change your child’s life 🩰
Because it’s not just about dancing.
It’s where your babyballet star begins to:
Build confidence - walking into class without clinging to you and stepping into the circle on
their own
Learn social skills - waiting their turn, standing in a line, and copying what other babyballet stars are doing
Experience teamwork -moving together in a circle, following the same actions, and joining in
group dances
Develop communication - listening to instructions, responding to their teacher, and joining in with songs and actions
Grow independence - letting go of your hand, collecting their own prop, and tiptoeing back to
their spot
And while they’re doing all of that…
They’re also having fun, making friends, and creating memories you’ll never forget 🤍
And here’s something you might not expect: many successful leaders and CEOs have a
background in dance, thanks to the confidence, discipline, and teamwork it builds early on.
So no… maybe it’s not that dramatic after all.
