Pre-school Ballet and Tap classes are divided into two separate age ranges of 2-3 years and 3-4 years. Our youngest children dance in ‘Mummy and Me’ style classes whilst 3-4 year olds dance independently. The award-winning Melody Bear syllabus is the core foundation of our Melody Movers (Ballet/Creative Dance) and Tip Tap Toe (Tap) dance classes. Your child will just love learning with Melody and Milligan Bear through storytelling and games!
The syllabus serves as the perfect introduction to dance for young children. Your child is taught to dance through movement activities that they can relate to, such as jumping, skipping, crawling and running.
Early Learning classes are designed to aid your child’s development in a variety of ways, from improving spatial awareness, coordination and physicality, to encouraging their levels of creativity and expression.
Counting, shapes, vocabulary and language are also part of the fun! Pupils will sometimes be asked to pair up or work in a group, which is a great way for them to learn about team work and communication.
Pupils can watch themselves progress as they collect stickers on sticker cards which you will receive upon registration. Pupils are also rewarded with medals for their efforts and participation.
The Melody Bear award schemes cater for pupils who may have missed a class or new pupils that join mid-term, meaning that no child is placed at a disadvantage.
What the parents say about us
Don’t just take our word for it
“Thank you so much for organising this! M joined in with Tap today and she hasn’t stopped talking about it. What an amazing idea and so important for keeping a bit of normality in the children’s lives at the moment. You’re all doing a fantastic job!
Both of my children have been going to the academy for over a year now. My youngest son has suspected autism and I am amazed with how the academy fits him into his ballet class with so much patience and professionalism. My daughter gets excited before she goes to every lesson and aspires to be like the older dancers one day. I would definitely recommend the academy to any parent who would like their child to learn to dance in a loving, diverse, structured and professional environment.
“My daughter has only recently joined a Junior Ballet class and absolutely loves it! She has settled in very well and loves her teacher.”
