Ballet & Tap

The Tiny Ballet Company

BALLET & TAP FOR KIDS

Our Ballet and Tap classes, which take place in Loughton and Theydon Bois, are extremely popular and loved by children of ages 3-6 years and abilities.

These classes fuse physical development and exercise with imaginative storytelling to help engage the kids from beginning to end. This class offers exposure to many different styles of dance, so our students can get a taste of everything on offer, plus it helps to improve their posture, co-ordination, rhythm, and discipline.

There are a multitude of props used in each class – including maracas, scarfs, and other sensory toys – to help our dancers dance confidently, learn social skills such as negotiating and sharing and above all, have fun.

JUNIOR BALLET

Donna’s Junior Ballet class offers a brilliant ballet foundation, from arm and feet positions, barre, and centre work to learning the individual steps which will eventually become a full dance routine. Our dancers benefit from learning solo dances, duets as well as larger group performances. This class works on the basic techniques, disciplines, steps, and performance skills which will ultimately be used in more advanced ballet, contemporary and other genres of dance.

JUNIOR TAP

Donna’s Junior Tap class is perfect for rhythm, coordination, and technique development, plus is a lot of fun for everyone involved. Our dancers will learn a range of Tap-dancing steps, complimented by music from classical shows to chart toppers and everything in between. This class is a firm favourite in Donna’s School of Dance!

							My daughter loves going to her ballet classes. Miss Donna is a great teacher and is brilliant with children, as are all her teachers/staff I have met. I have booked around three terms so far, I think these classes are great for building my child’s confidence.

							Donna and her team are by far the best ballet teacher around. Highly recommend. My daughter adores them all she normally takes time to warm up to people however she loved Donna and her team the very first class. Thanks to everyone. Would love to see a class on a Saturday at Grange Farm.

							My daughter absolutely loves her ballet classes. I’ve been taking her since she turned 1 and she’s now 2 years old and her confidence has grown so much in the last year, It’s also helped her to socialise with other babies her age. She loves the music and little dance routines and it’s so adorable seeing her have so much fun. We’re looking forward to the next term x

							Ava has been with Tiny Ballet Company since she was 14 months until 3 and has honestly loved every minute of her Saturday ballet class. A great way to build her confidence and coordination as well as a great place to make new friends! The teachers have been amazing and we are going to miss the class so much but cannot wait for her to move into the 3+ ballet and tap class!

							Keeva has been coming to Mini Ballet since she was 18 months old and is now 3. She has gone to both the Loughton class and now goes to the Harlow drop off ones. Every class she has been to she has loved and we've found the teachers both Miss Donna and Miss Fran fantastic. Miss Fran has endless amounts of patience and all the girls love to see her. She makes sure that every class is magical but that each child has her attention and support. On top of this, all of the mums have gained quite a close bond from the weekly classes. Thanks ladies, you're doing such a great job! Cannot recommend enough 💫 x

							An incredible class, my little girl loves the warmth of the teacher and showing off her dance skills. Even on the days she doesn’t quite feel herself, by the end of this class she is beaming. It’s such a great way for her to express herself. X

							My daughter started ballet classes with Miss Donna just before she turned 2 and she was extremely shy and wouldn’t leave my side. These classes were a huge help in building her confidence and it wasn’t long before she began to join in. Now a year on, ballet is the highlight of her week. She loves Miss Donna and her ballet friends, she loves learning new dances and she loves being in the bigger girl class where she does the class without me. Highly recommend to everyone, best classes in the area!!

							My daughter has started the mini ballet classes 2 months ago. Initially she was very shy and was not ready to leave my lap. But she has improved her confidence in each class and now she absolutely loves it. She is so happy and started interacting with other kids . We both love going to the class and Sarah is an amazing teacher.

							Donna's classes are so perfect for our 18 month old girl and such a great class for girls and boys! Donna makes it so much fun and she's so warm, patient and friendly with every little one, always knowing everyones names and making them feel super welcome so they can run wild and have the best time. You can see the development in each child week and week as they follow her guidance. Would highly recommend for all little ones.

							This is the first proper class that I’ve taken my daughter to. She was born during lockdown 2020 and this course has helped her build her confidence and interact with other children and the class is the highlight of her week! We both love it and I can see how much she’s grown since starting the class. The teachers are just how you want them to be, kind, encouraging, and goes above and beyond for the children. Can’t recommend these classes enough, they’re brilliant!

It's so welcoming and such a great place to be. My little one is 2 in July and is about to start her 3rd course. She loves it and secretly so does mummy. Definitely recommend 👌
