Tappy Toes is a dance/movement class for boys and girls aged 6 months to 5 years. Our syllabus is designed specifically for this age group, to encourage creativity, improve coordination, increase confidence and develop rhythm and musicality. We use a fun mix of pop songs, Disney tunes, nursery rhymes and music from their favourite TV shows. We dance with props like pompoms, dance ribbons, hoops, bells etc. We sing songs with actions, and tell stories through dance and movement.

Our NEW Baby classes, known as Teeny Toes are for babies from 6 months and up, and use lots of different props, songs with actions and movement for baby and parent to do together. Our Baby Ballet classes (Tip Toes) are for children aged 3-5 years, and introduce them to the basics of ballet in a fun and imaginative way, and our standard Tots Toes class is for 18 months up to 4 years.
