When I reflect back on my early days as a first-time mum, I can't help but remember the feeling of isolation. It was through my love of ballet that my adult friendships blossomed. My ballet business has led me to some life-long friends, none of whom I would have met if it wasn't through our mutual love for the beauty of ballet.
Are you bubbly, warm, outgoing, loyal and fun?
Do you love young people, ballet, beautiful music and imagination?
Are you able to encourage extroverted and introverted children?

I'm so excited to share with you my radio interview with the lovely Fiona Mary Berry on radio station Alive 90.5 FM. Thank you for inviting me to your Community Health & Wellness Show, Revitalise & Renu. It was such an honour and a pleasure to go down memory lane to explain to your listeners how I started my business 13 years ago. I also explain our fabulous themed classes and fantastic special event weeks, such as our Annual Daddy Daughter Dance.
Each year, Tiny Toes Ballet invites dads along to Fathers Day week to join their ballerinas and dancers at our free to attend, Daddy Daughter Dance.
The Tiny Toes Ballet Daddy Daughter Dance is such a fun and rewarding experience for both dads and daughters alike. It’s a special bonding moment encapsulating memories that will last a lifetime. This precious, special time is both enjoyable and fun. You’ll be sure to have a laugh.
During the year, your gorgeous ballerina or dancer will be introduced to two magical and enchanting themes each term. We use storytelling, props and imagination to teach ballet in our dance classes. As a result, this builds self esteem and confidence in your little one by fostering their love of movement and dance.
Need another reason for your darling to dance with us at Tiny Toes Ballet? What makes Tiny Toes Ballet classes so special is the quarterly training our teachers receive to help support them. This is why we are 'Sydney's Best Preschool and Kindergarten Ballet Teachers".
Sara isn’t a dance mum… and that’s what drew her to Tiny Toes Ballet. She loved the relaxed feel, the no-fuss concert and the nurturing approach of the teachers. “When Olivia, my eldest daughter, was two she showed an interest in dancing. I had a look around at a few ballet schools and got a good vibe from Tiny Toes Ballet. Now both of my girls dance with Tiny Toes Ballet and we haven’t looked back.”
Whether your child is two years old or fifteen years old, this FREE printable booklet is a fantastic, fun and creative way for your child to express their thoughts and feelings for the most important man in their life, their dad!
We'll be sharing one of Miss Nicole's favourite books when she was little and now, her daughter's favourite book too, Possum Magic! “Once upon a time, but not very long ago, deep in the Australian bush, there lived two possums. Their names were Hush and Grandma Poss. Grandma Poss made bush magic…” I wonder what happens next!
Miss Laura has come up with a fabulous idea (which she's tested on her own children) using left over clear contact. This clever craft activity creates little mess, is extremely simple (even for young toddlers), is no fuss and is a great rainy day activity which you can complete from the comfort and security of your home.
Popsicle stick ballerinas for our darling ballerinas. A great craft idea with little mess, but lots of fun. This is a fantastic screen free activity for our preschoolers and older children alike. Have fun and remember, you can use anything that you can find at home!

Think dance is all about giving your kids a chance to release some energy and run around the room in a tutu? Well, we won’t deny that’s a part of it, but dance also has a host of other benefits for a child’s physical, mental and social development. Here are six reasons why dance is so good for kids. [...]

With the Easter Bunny coming this weekend, now's the perfect time to do some Easter craft. You can make these adorable sock bunnies with materials you probably already have at home. What a fun screen free activity for our preschoolers and older children.
Are you finding it hard to keep your lovely ballerinas and danseurs occupied during these difficult times? Well, why not go on a "teddy" bear hunt? Local communities around Sydney have embraced "teddy" bear hunting. All you need to do to participate is ...
If you’re a parent who’s struggling to explain the do’s and don'ts of the coronavirus pandemic - The Wiggles are here to help! The Wiggles - Anthony Field, Lachlan Gillespie, Simon Price and Emma Watkins have released a new song for children as the coronavirus pandemic unfolds in Australia.
This very simple craft activity will bring a smile to your face! As the name suggests, this Rainbow Weaving Fish craft entails rainbow coloured paper being woven into and out of a fish design. It's colourful and easy to do. My eldest child did this with only a little bit of assistance (very little ones may need help using scissors).
Today, we'll be sharing one of Miss Sarah's favourite books with all of our marvellous ballerinas, Olga the Brolga! Olga the brolga is in a terrible mood. She desperately wants to dance -- but no one will dance with her. Her parents have other things to do, Ellie the crocodile doesn't feel like jumping around, and Joanna Jacana only wants to sleep. As for Lilly the long-neck, well, she's a bit grumpy, too!
When I was young, I used to bake all of the time with my mum and my grandmother (and making the obligatory mess, of course!). The prize - yummy biscuits, scrumptious cakes and delicious treats!!! What I didn't know at the time was that I was also learning valuable skills ...
Leafy animal craft for our darling ballerinas. Get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine from the safety and convenience of your home! Did you know that one of the most famous zoos in the world has a website dedicated to kids? Sorry grownups – you’re not included.
Tiny Toes Ballet offers a convenient and clever way to manage your details and classes online 24/7. It's called our Parent Portal and allows you to complete everyday items such as class management, updating student and contact details or to pay your invoice.
It’s tough, when your kids are tiny, to leave them, even for a little while. Dance classes can start for kids at a very young age, sometimes as young as 3. Most parents aren’t keen to leave kids this size alone with anyone but a most trusted family member or carer. [...]
Do you cringe when you see your child sitting in a W? Do you feel like saying “sweetie, can you please fix your legs”? Does W-sitting cause long term effects? Should I be worried when I see my toddler/preschooler sitting in a W? Do your older children still W-sit? W-sitting is a sitting position in which children sit [...]
It’s 3.30pm and you walk in the door, kick of your shoes, make a cup of tea and a biscuit and flop on the lounge. The sun is shining on your face and you feel a huge sigh of relief. You could almost have a ‘Doctor Nap’. But ... you have to rally the troops again who have dispersed into their rooms. The key to successfully transitioning in the afternoon from big school to ballet class is – DON’ T GO HOME!
Many parents find they feel bittersweet emotions when their child starts Kindergarten. It is the official ‘end of an era’. When your child starts ‘big school’ there are so many things that are new. New school, new teacher, new friends and a new routine. It is critical for at least one thing to remain the same in their life [...]
When it's time for a concert performance or if you want your little one to feel and act like a 'real' ballerina, a ballet bun will put her in the mood, just like wearing her ballet shoes and a gorgeous tutu to class! We also love for all of our Primary Dance Academy students (Kindy and Year 1 students) to wear a ballet bun to each and every class. When you dress like a ballerina, you act like a ballerina! [...]
When I first started applying for awards I felt like I was asking for approval or ‘had tickets on myself.’ I didn’t feel completely comfortable with the idea.
Then I started thinking about our Tiny Toes Terrific Team of Teachers and our Customer Happiness Managers and what we do 6 days a week for 9 years now and thought – “Gee, they are absolute rock stars, literally angels from heaven working as an incredibly inspirational team. They have helped make Tiny Toes Ballet be THE place to send children to learn in a professional yet relaxed environment. Where children learn through joy.
We have always delivered enchanting ballet classes with adorable tutus and warm nurturing teachers. We have happy ballerinas and raving parents. We sparkle on social media and in our advertising.
Our concerts are shouted from the rooftops as being unique, fabulous, wonderful, memory making, endearing – with divine affordable tutus. (Huge thanks to Michelle at Perform Dance Costumes.)
All this needs to be rewarded and recognised!
It was pointed out to me by speaker Stacey Morgan (Principal and owner of Port Macquarie Dancers) when I attended a Dance Teacher Network seminar that as owners of small businesses we often performance review our staff but not ourselves and our businesses.
I didn’t know this before I started applying for awards that the questions are really in-depth. The average application can take up to 36 hours to complete. Most of the questions require deep introspection and business analysis.
Day to day as I work in each area, I can ask myself each question.
“How do I display leadership in Tiny Toes Ballet?”
“How does Tiny Toes Ballet contribute to the community?”
“What is our 5-year plan for Tiny Toes Ballet?”
All these questions and more help us to set goals, upskill, learn and implement ideas to make Tiny Toes Ballet be THE place for 2-7-year-old kids learn to ballet and dance!
I am thrilled to announce that we have entered the following categories: Fastest Growth Award: This award recognises a business that has grown at an exceptional rate (must have been in business for more than 2 years).
Community Contribution Award: This award recognises a person, charity or not-for-profit organisation that is making a significant impact in their community.
Mumpreneur Of The Year Award: This award recognises a woman with exceptional entrepreneurial spirit, who is juggling both roles; Mum and Entrepreneur.
Small Business Of The Year: This award recognises a small business that has achieved outstanding results in all aspects of business, including marketing, profitability, impact and customer service
Whether we win or not, the process has inspired and motivated me. It has reminded me that my team and the 1000+ ballerinas and danseurs and parents that we meet each week have chosen well. Tiny Toes Ballet, in my opinion, is an award-winning ballet school.
Here are some of the awards we have won over the past few years:
Australian Small Business Awards 2016
Australian Small Business Awards 2018
Western Sydney Business Woman of the Year Award 2017
Here at Tiny Toes Ballet we are doing something bigger than ourselves inspiring the future generation of dancers!
Please join me in crossing your fingers, toes, legs and in ballet we say “entrechats” and chookas. I will be sure to let you know how we go!
Warmly,

“so, what does my child DO in ballet and dance class?”
The programme at Tiny Toes Ballet is unique. Our magical ballet dance classes have imagination as their theme. This aids in engaging the children while they are dancing and uses their creativity and expression.
each preschool ballet dance class contains
A familiar warm-up before we dance. We warm up our feet, our ankles, our arms and legs, our backs and core in a circle at the start of each lesson. Introduce and welcome new friends!
Dance classes based on the Royal Academy of Dance portion. This is where the hidden ballet and dance occurs. For example, the children are rising up and reaching for the stars, or tapping their pointed toes on a hidden trap door. The children will jump like clockwork bunny rabbits, skip to the forest or balance on one leg in the hot sand.
Kids will love our ‘free dance‘ section. This encourages the expression of movement to beautiful ballet dance music. It allows freedom of choice, builds confidence and encourages creativity.
A cool down.
each kindy/year one class contains
A familiar warm-up before we dance. Introducing correct ballet posture, strengthening exercises, feet pointing and ballet stretches, waking our muscles up and preparing them for dance.
A balanced Royal Academy of Dance class. This is where the learning occurs taught with beautiful imagery. For example, the children ‘pick up feathers or flower petals’ with exercise for hands, show demi plies ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ in bend and spin, fly like cannonballs in run and leap.
Age-appropriate music and jazz dancemoves. Strong technique, ballet stretching with an ethos of fun.
we teach & reinforce
Ballet Terminology/Vocabulary: First Position, Points, Demi Plies, Gallops, Jumps, Arabesque, Port De Bra, Pirouette etc.
Ballet Technique: for example when teaching a Gallop, the teachers talk about squeezing legs together. Or making ‘a diamond’ when teaching a Demi Plies.
School readiness and reinforcement: counting, colours, left and right, taking turns, lining up, using their hand before speaking to really practise for school readiness.
Respect: We thank our parents and our teachers by curtsying at the end of the class.
The learning at Tiny Toes Ballet is hidden. The children are doing ballet and they don’t even realise it!

During our kindy dance classes kids are exposed to different types of musical instruments and rhythms; With age-appropriate music and choreography, our Kindy kids learn best with familiar songs that are aimed at their age level that make Mum happy too!
2. skills for school and dance class etiquette
Kids learn more than just dance. Lining up, taking turns, following 5-part instructions, left and right, manners and more. Thus strengthening their listening skills and ability to learn and pick up quickly.
3. nurtures confidence, boosts self-esteem and enhances focus
Consistent, caring adults are important for kid’s healthy development. The rapport/strong bond between a ballet and dance teacher and their students is very special. A child’s first ever ballet teacher is a hugely important person in their lives. Learning processes involve internalizing, rehearsing and repeating. Kids feel a huge sense of accomplishment through skills learnt in dance class.
4. enriches cultural appreciation and knowledge
Children who dance gain an appreciation of classical ballet, if not to make dancers then to make an appreciative audience.
5. promotes bonding between like-minded students who enjoy music and dance
Ballet friends are lifelong friends! Through shared experiences, strong bonds are made. When the chips are down at school it is always nice to have another circle of friends.
Kindy is the perfect time to introduce ballet and jazz dance movement vocabulary at a faster pace, and with higher expectations.

Tiny Toes Ballet’s magical classes are based on the Royal Academy of Dance’s Preschool Curriculum. Our classes are specially aimed at preschool level and our programme aims to capture and nurture young children’s instinctive joy of movement and freedom of expression.
Our classes are themed. In “Under the Sea”, the children find a message in a bottle. They go looking for sea horses, jump on jellyfish and dance for mermaids. The children will be doing ballet and not even realise it!

The ballet classes at Tiny Toes Ballet are based on the Royal Academy of Dance’s International Curriculum. As a result, our ballet classes address young children’s cognitive, motor and effective development. We use age-appropriate music and choreography. Movement is the medium through which creativity, expression and musicality are developed. There is no set uniform at Tiny Toes Ballet, so your child is welcome to wear what makes them feel comfortable. Fairy dress, dress up costume, leotard and skirt or bike pants and t-shirt.

The programming is so clever, using lots of imagery, props, little rhymes and games that teach the fundamentals of ballet. There is also school readiness/reinforcement; lining up, making a circle, taking turns, counting, following directions. The kids are learning ballet without realising it.
For our Kindy & Year 1 students we offer Primary Dance Academy. These classes are based on the Royal Academy of Dance’s International Curriculum. The classes are specially aimed at school level.

A portion of each child’s registration fees is donated to Cystic Fibrosis NSW. Throughout each year we hold fundraising concerts, crazy sock days and other activities to raise money and awareness of this life-threatening illness.
We hope that one day, CF stands for Cure Found!

Ballet is a perfect choice for parents who are looking for an activity that combines fun, creativity and exercise.
Tiny Toes Ballet goes the extra mile to ensure a magical experience for everyone.
The Tiny Toes Ballet program is based on the Royal Academy of Dance International Syllabus, but when the children are here, it doesn’t feel like they’re doing ballet.
Instead, they will be walking on tightropes with parasols, painting rainbows in the sky with ribbons and galloping with ponies.
Many people have a view of ballet as rigid and restrictive, but Tiny Toes Ballet takes a different philosophy.
Our ballet classes are intended to stimulate the imagination and foster your child’s creativity in a unique way.
age appropriate costumes and music
Many parents these days are rightly concerned about the age appropriateness of many dance costumes and music, not to mention feeling uncomfortable about putting makeup on their toddler or young daughter for performances.
At Tiny Toes Ballet, we believe that children should be children. We don’t use makeup and have beautiful age appropriate costumes for performances.
There is no set uniform, so your little dancer can express their own individuality and creativity while being comfortable during their classes.
engaging and fun
Ballet for young children should be joyful and fun, not rigid and boring.
Our focus is on engaging students and helping them develop self-confidence and creativity as much as their technical dancing skills.
It’s not just for your little one either – our Dance with Mummy program is designed for children aged 2.5 years and older and lets mum, dad or nana dance alongside their little one for a beautiful experience for everyone.
stress-free for everyone
At Tiny Toes Ballet, we aim to take the stress out of the whole process. All our facilities are located near cafés, parking and shopping centres.
We run classes at convenient times throughout the school term, including afternoons and weekends. If you miss a class it’s no problem, you can do a makeup class.

My name is Stephanie, also known as “Miss Stephanie” to your beautiful ballerinas and danseurs. Your children have changed my life and here’s why … Having trained in the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, my first experience teaching ballet to little ones was at [...]
I am Laura. Some of you may know me as Miss Laura as I have the pleasure of teaching some of your very gorgeous children.
My journey with Tiny Toes Ballet began several years ago when I walked into my first ‘Dance With Mummy’ class with my then two year old. Having been a dancer for the best part of three decades and a ballet teacher for 15 years I had done my research and picked what I considered to be the best preschool dance programme available for my little ballerina. Needless to say I was not disappointed. In fact, I loved the programme so much, that I am now one of Tiny Toes Ballet’s senior teachers and let me tell you, I have the best job in the world.
tiny toes ballet follows the royal academy of dance syllabus
So I guess some of you may be wondering why I chose Tiny Toes Ballet over the other programmes available in our area. The biggest draw card for me was that Tiny Toes Ballet are affiliated with the Royal Academy of Dance (also known as the RAD) which is one of the largest and most influential dance education and training organisations in the world. It has over 13,000 members spread across 83 countries and the Academy’s patron is none other than Her Majesty herself Queen Elizabeth II, so it could easily be said that the royal grandchildren and great grandchildren are probably learning the same syllabus that is being taught to my own daughter at Tiny Toes Ballet.
The Royal Academy of Dance offers an internationally recognised, time-honoured, comprehensive curriculum, grounded in educational and developmental theory. Students start with the Dance to Your Own Tune curriculum, which is what we deliver in our Tiny Toes Ballet classes. They then move through the Pre-Primary and Primary levels which we deliver in our Primary Dance Academy programme.
But it doesn’t end there, upon graduating from Tiny Toes Ballet, our students are well equipped to go on to attend higher dance training organisations where they can continue to study the Royal Academy of Dance’s eight graded and six vocational graded levels partaking in internationally recognised examinations and assessments.
I could go on but I will wrap it up here. From one mum to another mum who just happens to be a qualified ballet teacher, trust me when I tell you that you have chosen the best possible program for your little one to start their journey in dance. A journey that I hope will bring a lifetime of enjoyment and appreciation of the art of ballet.

There is no pressure at Tiny Toes Ballet. If you’re looking for a relaxed, fun and imaginative introduction to dance for your child, then Tiny Toes Ballet may be the right fit for you. You won’t feel like you’re just a number. You will be joining the Tiny Toes family.
The syllabus at Tiny Toes Ballet has imagination as its theme and is designed to engage and stimulate your child’s creativity and self-expression. The programming is so clever, using lots of imagery, props, little rhymes and games that teach the fundamentals of ballet. There is also school readiness/reinforcement; lining up, making a circle, taking turns, counting, following directions. The kids are learning ballet without realising it.
At Tiny Toes Ballet, our end of year graduation concert is magical. You can bring as many family and friends as you like without having to pay for seats. In addition, you are welcome to take photos and videos of your own child. Your child’s concert will be held in the last lesson of Term 4 during your child’s usual class time, day and venue.
