Offering Kinderballet™ accredited classes:
‘Preschool Ballet’ is simply ballet aimed at the preschool level. Kinderballet™ is a ballet program developed specifically for children aged between 15 months and 9 years, as an introduction to Classical Ballet.
The challenge with teaching this age group is to hold their attention while introducing them to basic movement principles.
In our Kinderballet™ classes, the children learn Classical ballet steps and develop basic gross motor skills through imagery and story-telling. Our Programs are strongly influenced by current pre-school education trends in teaching through play.
Pre-school children are a highly imaginative age group with pretend play being an important aspect of child development.
Dance Empire is a proud licensee of Kinderballet™.
About Kinderballet
Kinderballet™ – A Magical First Step into Dance!
Kinderballet™ is a fun, nurturing, and imaginative introduction to ballet, designed especially for young children.
With a focus on creativity, confidence, and movement, the programs guide little dancers through the magic of ballet in a relaxed, playful, and supportive environment. Each class is thoughtfully designed to suit different age groups, blending storytelling, music, and dance to inspire a lifelong love of movement.
Whether it’s a first ballet experience or a stepping stone to formal training, Kinderballet™ makes every class an enchanting adventure!
The program is designed around a single theme each term, giving children the chance to settle into a familiar routine. This consistency helps them feel secure while also allowing them to develop important movement skills through repetition.
Each theme is brought to life with a strong narrative that keeps little ones engaged, making learning feel like play. While we focus on creating a fun and positive experience, we’re also passionate about teaching the foundations of dance. This sets us apart from activities that are purely for entertainment or change their content every week.
Our approach ensures that children not only have a great time but also build real skills along the way.
