“My dreams came true when Thea was born, she was my very own mini me. I could not wait for her to start ballet at babyballet and from her very first class we were both mesmerised by the magic and ethos of the dance school.”

“Before we signed up to babyballet® I was having to create content for over 5 preschool classes a week… it was exhausting! Looking back, the babyballet® license has been so beneficial for my dance studio, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

We now run over 12 preschool classes a week including preschool tap! The support, the marketing materials, the graphics, stories and branding are crucial in providing an amazing experience for our families.”
