Tippy Toe Sparkles East Dulwich 3-5 years 10.50am

By Tippy Toes Ballet

Tippy Toe Sparkles, where one adult watches! Tippy Toe Sparkle classes are aimed at children aged 3-5 years. Your child will be introduced to ballet moves that are a little more technical than in the younger class. This class is loved by parents and children alike. One adult stays in the studio to watch the class and experience their child blossom. ​Our Tippy Toe Sparkle class aims to enhance their listening skills, introduce more independence and build confidence whilst following more choreographed dances. Children also discover they can tell a story and show emotion through dance, music and imagination. Watch your child interact with others, make new friends, work as a team and discover new ways to communicate and create.
