Kinderballet™
A creative and imaginative ballet program developed specifically for toddlers and pre-schoolers! Seeing a need for quality, accessible ballet for young children, not just through elite dance schools, Sheryn and Peter Zarins turned the concept of a dance school on its head and created, Kinderballet.
Sheryn’s vast experience meant they were able to craft a program specifically for preschoolers. The program was structured so they could fully enjoy the experience of ballet at a young age. With quality, hand-picked teachers, and limited class size numbers all without the pressure and expense of big concerts and costumes, as this can be overwhelming for children so young.
Knowing that average families need to be careful with money we made the program for the wider community. Making it affordable and family friendly was very important to us and we did away with the need of exact uniforms, often a great expense when wanting your child to try a new activity. Allowing children the freedom to dress as they choose opened up the experience of ballet class for young children to come in their favourite fairy dresses or that beloved dress from Grandma, something young children get very excited about.
The music is also our own and unique to Kinderballet™ – not Hi-5 and the wiggles CDs. Sheryn worked with renowned pianist - Jenny Pickering - who has been associated with ballet at the highest levels for years. The music has been developed specifically for us, our program and our little dancers.
Our program is set around the Adventures of Bella Ballet Bear. A program designed to introduce the basics of classical ballet, in an imaginative way. So the children are learning through play – a very popular concept in modern education. We stimulate imagination; individual attention engages each child as all children are prompted for their input to the class.
