St Andrews & Tayport
Little Lights Academy Ballet Classes
in Tayport
Our Little Light Sparkles classes offer a magical first step into the world of ballet. Together, you and your child will share precious moments of movement, music, and imagination as they discover the joy of dance. Each session introduces simple ballet foundations through playful actions like skipping, twirling, balancing and stretching — all while helping little ones grow in confidence and coordination.
Our Little Light Shimmers classes are designed for children aged 3–5 years — a gentle next step on their ballet journey. In these sessions, little dancers begin to explore more detailed ballet movements while continuing to enjoy the magic, music and imagination at the heart of Little Lights. This class is loved by both children and parents alike. Grown-ups are invited to stay and watch as their child’s confidence blossoms and their creativity shines through.
Our Little Lights Stars class, designed for children aged 4–7 years, gently builds on ballet technique and musicality while keeping imagination at its core. Children begin to explore more refined steps, movement patterns and coordination — gaining a wonderful sense of pride and accomplishment along the way. At this stage, we encourage greater focus and concentration, introducing both individual and partner activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age can my child start classes at Little Lights Academy?
Our ballet classes start from 2 years old, while our drama classes begin from 3 years old. Each class is carefully tailored to your child's age and stage of development, helping them build confidence, creativity and new skills in a fun, supportive environment.
What should my child wear?
Children can wear comfortable clothing they can move freely in for their trial classes. Once enrolled, we'll let you know about our uniform and any footwear needed for their class.
Do parents stay during the classes?
This depends on your child's age and class. For our youngest children, a parent or carer joins in or stays to watch. As children grow in confidence and independence, some classes become drop-off sessions.
Can my child try a class before joining?
Yes. We offer a two-week trial costing £14.50, giving your child the opportunity to experience our classes before committing to the rest of the term.
Excellent classes for children of all ages. Emma and Nicola are so welcoming and brilliant teachers my daughter absolutely adores them. Breath of fresh air in St Andrews. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Seeing my daughter become confident and learn so many skills in such a short time has been wonderful. It is a really professional class but keeps young children feeling safe and engaged so they want to keep going. Really recommend the ballet and theatre classes
