What’s a typical Tiny Tutus class like?
Tiny Tutus offers a structured but very enjoyable class for children to learn the fundamentals of classical ballet. In the Grown-Up and Me class, we spend about half the class learning basic ballet movements, including a curtsey, pointing toes, first positions, etc. The second half of the class is more creative — we will go on a Bear Hunt one week, visit the magical toy shop the next, and we subtly incorporate ballet movements within this section. Baby Ballet (without adults) classes concentrate on pre-primary and primary ballet movements, for example plies, tendus, gallops and port de bras, but do not fear, these also include the creative element, which is so vital to children’s development.
What should my child wear for class?
For all Tiny Tutus classes, anything that your child can move in easily is fine, for example, leggings or a skirt and t-shirt, and bare feet or ballet shoes. No socks please, as the floor can be very slippery. If you’d like to buy a ballet outfit, that would be super — we are not worried about colours or styles, so long as your child is happy. For Pre-Primary and Primary classes via D2Dance, please consult the D2Dance website.
Where are classes held?
We run classes weekly at Hildenborough Village Hall. See the timetable for more information.
Can Tiny Tutus come to my child’s nursery?
Yes, we have years of experience working at nurseries in London, Surrey and Kent. To book Tiny Tutus to come to your nursery, please contact Miss Sarah directly.
