For parents & carers
A little reassurance.
All in one place.
Helpful answers about first classes, bookings and giving your child time to feel comfortable.
Before their first class
A gentle first step
into the story.
Find out where classes happen, who stays and how a trial works before your little dancer joins in.
Where are your public classes held?
Little Dancer and Storybook Ballet take place at Grundisburgh Village Hall in Suffolk. Little Dancer is on Mondays, 10:30–11:15am. The October Storybook Ballet sessions are on the dates listed on our Storybook Ballet page, from 4–5pm.
Does my child need dance experience for Little Dancer?
No. Little Dancer is a gentle first introduction for children aged around 18 months to 4 years. There can be some flexibility depending on the child. Sessions use imaginative themes and playful movement, with a caregiver staying throughout.
Do parents and carers stay?
Yes. A parent or responsible caregiver stays at the venue throughout Little Dancer and Storybook Ballet. You remain responsible for your child before and after the session, and outside the class activity.
Can we try Little Dancer before joining?
Yes. New families can request a free trial through the website. Miss Breanna arranges trials personally and will confirm whether a space is available before you attend. The paid booking link is separate and is not used to request a trial.
Booking & costs
Choose the class
that fits them.
Understand the Little Dancer membership, the Storybook Ballet block and what your child needs to bring.
How much does Little Dancer cost?
Little Dancer membership is £24.99 per month. The payment keeps your child’s regular place rather than purchasing exactly four individual classes. Classes generally run weekly, although there may sometimes be holiday breaks. You can view the paid membership checkout before deciding.
Are the fairytale characters really at Storybook Ballet?
Yes. A princess or fairytale character attends and dances with the children. The character changes across the advertised October sessions, from Alice in Wonderland to Little Red Riding Hood.
How do I book Storybook Ballet?
The October experience is £40 for the full advertised block. Use the Storybook Ballet booking page to book and pay. Your place is confirmed once the required booking/payment is complete and confirmation has been received.
What should my child wear and bring?
Anything comfortable that allows them to move is fine. Dancewear is welcome if they already have it, but there is no need to buy anything specially for a first session. Please bring a water bottle.
Confidence & support
Room to settle.
Time to belong.
Every child joins in differently. These answers explain what happens if they feel shy and how to discuss anything they need.
What if my child is shy or does not join in straight away?
That is completely fine. Young children sometimes need a few visits to warm up to a new environment. They can watch, stay close to their caregiver and join in when they feel ready. Classes are playful, imaginative and pressure-free.
What happens after we book?
Your place is secured once the required booking and payment have been completed. Miss Breanna will collect the information needed for your child and send your confirmation and class information personally before you attend.
Who can I speak to about my child’s needs?
Please contact Miss Breanna before booking to discuss anything that would help your child take part. She can talk through the class with you personally.
Ready when they are
Where might their
story begin?
Whether they would love a gentle first dance or an afternoon with a favourite character, choose the experience that feels right for them.
