babyballet New Lynn & Te Atatu is a preschool ballet school at 35 Margan Avenue in New Lynn, with parking off Seabrook Avenue. The school takes children from about 6 months to 6 years, and the website describes its classes as award-winning. It has four stages of ballet for young children, plus a tap class for children over three.
A 3-week trial is offered so a child can settle in at their own pace, and grown-ups are welcome in the younger classes. Parents describe the teachers as warm, patient and supportive, and say the classes built their children's confidence. One parent of a child with additional needs said the teachers made every accommodation and checked in when she missed a session. The yearly show is a highlight for families. Our pick in New Lynn for a gentle first dance class for little ones.
