Yoga
Every Little Gems class includes yoga!
We teach storybook yoga, where children learn yoga poses while going on fun adventures - meeting superheroes, mermaids, monsters, and more along the way.
Each class also includes mindfulness practice, helping children develop focus, calmness, and body awareness. Older children’s classes include mini meditations cleverly woven into games, making mindfulness fun and engaging.
Ballet classes
Little Gems ballet classes introduce children to the beautiful Cecchetti style of ballet in a fun and engaging way. Ballet provides a fantastic foundation for all forms of dance and supports healthy development by improving posture, balance, flexibility, strength, and coordination.
Our classes nurture focus, discipline, and musicality, while also encouraging creativity and self-expression. Children gain confidence as they master new steps and explore musicality and expression through each movement. Whether your child continues with ballet long-term or uses it as a base for other dance styles, the skills they gain will stay with them for life.
Hip-hop classes
Hip-hop is so much fun! Children learn fun, challenging moves and exciting themed dances set to popular music they love. Each class is high-energy and engaging, helping them develop strength, flexibility, coordination, rhythm, and confidence.
As they explore different styles and routines, children also work on timing, musicality, teamwork, and memory through learning choreography. Most importantly, they get to express themselves creatively, burn off energy, and feel proud of what they can achieve - all while having a blast!
Jazz classes
Jazz is vibrant, expressive, and full of fun! Children learn upbeat routines and dynamic movements inspired by musical theatre, pop, and classic jazz styles. Classes are lively and engaging, helping young dancers build strength, coordination, flexibility, rhythm, and confidence.
As they explore kicks, turns, travelling steps, and expressive arm movements, children also develop musicality, timing, performance skills, and memory through learning choreography. Most importantly, they get to shine, express their personality, and feel proud of what they can achieve - all while having an amazing time dancing to music they love!
‘Diamond’ classes: 18 months - 3.5 years
These classes are designed to be accessible for children at every stage of early development - whether they’re confidently running, busy exploring, newly walking, or still preferring to sit and observe. At this age, children learn through watching just as much as doing, so it’s completely normal if your child takes a little time to warm up or join in. Many little ones prefer to build trust and familiarity before they feel ready to participate.
The activities naturally adapt to each child’s stage, offering plenty to enjoy and explore - with songs, stories, and movements that support confidence, coordination, imagination, and independence.
Each class is filled with joyful singing, engaging stories, and playful movement, all enriched with the calming and developmental benefits of yoga and dance.
‘Sapphire’ classes: 3.5-5 years
Children at this age are full of enthusiasm and curiosity. They are quick to retain information and love the challenge of learning new yoga postures, dance steps, and routines.
Our classes are filled with engaging songs, imaginative stories, playful movements, and fun games - all designed to connect with yoga and dance practice in meaningful and exciting ways.
‘Topaz’ classes: 5-8 years +
‘Emeralds’ classes: 6-8 years
These classes introduce more challenging yoga postures and dance routines. At this age, children are quick learners who take pride in their progress and are eager to grow. We focus on faster routines, more complex choreography, and building strong technique - while still keeping every class full of fun and creativity.
Little Gems Showcases
All children enrolled in weekly Little Gems classes at Holdfast Baptist Church have the opportunity to perform in two showcases each year. These showcases are relaxed and just for family and friends, and there are no expensive costumes! They are held at the church on Saturday mornings at the end of Term 2 and Term 4.
These performances give children the experience of performing in front of an audience and provide a huge boost to their confidence!
