Babies aged 18 months to 3 years old can start developing their ballet skills in a 30-minute Mummy and Me ballet class at Dancing Kids, priced at just $10/class. Kids tend to be super flexible, so it’s best to maximise that potential at an early age. It’ll also help them improve their coordination and pick up basic dance moves to give them a headstart.
This class will have you dancing along to music with your little baby, even if both of you have no prior experience in ballet. Classes are held in condominium function rooms, but don’t worry because most classes don’t require you to be a resident there to participate.
