The babyballet syllabus
stages

The babyballet syllabus in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore has four stages for babyballet stars from 6 months to 6 years to progress through. There is also a tap dancing class for children over 3 years.

babyballet teachers all undergo babyballet training, and with professional dance and teaching experience, they strive to create a fun, friendly and inclusive experience for everyone – no matter what your child’s age or ability.

Our classes are a great way for parents and carers to meet up and make new friends too!

Our programme fits well within the Australian Early Years Learning Framework, ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming’, making it the perfect activity choice for you and your child. Our classes provide the opportunity for babies and young children to learn and develop key life skills in a healthy and safe environment.

The babyballet syllabus is giving thousands of babyballet stars the chance to learn to dance and have fun!

We look forward to welcoming you and your little ones to the magical world of babyballet very soon!

The preschool years are crucial in your little one’s development. Our Movers class focuses on the further physical development of your child through dance in combination with their use of imaginative storytelling.

“Olivia has totally fallen in love with babyballet. She’s only 2 but already I can see the classes are bringing her on with her development. Her motor skills are getting better every week and she’s making lots of new friends. We both look forward to babyballet. It’s our favourite day of the week!”
