The 30-minute classes focus on the following core areas:
Physical Development: Improves early coordination, balance, and spatial awareness.
Social Skills: Encourages sharing, cooperation, and making new friends in an encouraging environment

Conditioning Classes

The babyballet® Movers class is a 45-minute, preschool dance program designed for children aged 3 to 5 years.
It focuses on building coordination, creativity, independence, and confidence through a combination of music, movement, and imaginative storytelling — dancing to classical music alongside beloved Disney favourites including Frozen and Rapunzel.
The 45-minute classes focus on the following development goals:
Imaginative Storytelling: Children explore creative adventures —like "flying a kite" or "jumping in muddy puddles”, while learning fundamental ballet steps.
Independence: Unlike younger classes (where parents dance alongside), Movers encourages children to participate independently to help build self-reliance and prepare for starting school.
Core Skills: Beyond dance steps, the curriculum helps develop listening skills, spatial awareness, counting, and communication.
Socialisation: Group activities encourage sharing, turn-taking, and making new friends.
