Early years classes

Pre-School dance classes
in Ripley

Our youngest dancers have two routes: parent-and-toddler babyballet® classes for children dancing with a grown-up, and independent Pre-School Dance and Acro sessions for children aged 2½ to school age.

Ages 2½ to school age

Pre-School Dance and Acro

A Saturday morning class pair for children aged 2½ to school age. Pre-School Dance introduces music, movement, coordination and simple routines, followed by Pre-School Acro with safe balance, rolling, flexibility and confidence-building skills.

Pre-School Dance Saturday 9:00-9:30
Pre-School Acro Saturday 9:30-10:00

Many children do both sessions together, but you can book the option that suits your child best. These are independent dance classes, with parents welcome to stay close by while children enjoy class in the studio. Read our FAQs.
