Story Time Ballet at Theative Performing Arts is a magical introduction to the world of dance, specially designed for toddlers and preschoolers. This unique program combines the elegance of ballet with the enchantment of storytelling, creating a delightful and engaging experience for our youngest dancers. Perfect for children aged 18 months to 4 years, this class nurtures a love for dance while developing basic movement skills in a fun and imaginative way.

In Story Time Ballet, each class is centred around a captivating story or theme, where children are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to bring the story to life through movement. Guided by our experienced instructors, little dancers learn foundational ballet steps and positions while pretending to be fairies, animals, or characters from their favourite tales. This creative approach helps develop coordination, balance, and musicality, all within a playful and supportive environment.

We offer Story Time Ballet as a parent-and-child class for ages 18 months to 3 years, providing a wonderful opportunity for bonding and shared enjoyment. Parents participate alongside their children, making it a special time for connection and fun. For children aged 3 to 4 years, we offer independent Story Time Ballet classes, where young dancers attend on their own, fostering independence and confidence as they take their first steps in dance.

For those looking for a more extended experience, we also offer Dance + Play sessions as part of our Story Time Ballet program. These sessions include a 30-minute ballet class followed by free play and social time, where children can explore toys and interact with peers in a relaxed, friendly environment. Parents can enjoy refreshments and socialise while their children engage in creative play, making it a wonderful community experience for both children and adults.

Our Story Time Ballet classes and Dance + Play sessions are designed to be developmentally appropriate, ensuring that each child progresses at their own pace while enjoying every moment of their dance journey. This program is perfect for nurturing early motor skills, encouraging social interaction, and building a foundation for a lifelong love of dance.
