All babyballet® stars should be signed in at theatre 45 minutes before the show starts. 

⭐️ 10:15am Check In | 11am Show 

⭐️ 1:45pm Check In |  2:30pm Show

It is VITAL that our little stars arrive on time, so please plan ahead for any potential travel disruptions! 

You will need to check your child in to start the process of getting ready for the babyballet show! 

Please arrive promptly at the Malthouse Theatre at the time specified above. Allow an extra few minutes to get from your chosen car park to the theatre.

We will not have any tickets for collection on the day. You would have been emailed your tickets directly from The Malthouse, when you originally booked them. If you have had any problems, please contact The Malthouse directly.  

For our young men:
A normal, neat hairstyle will be perfect – fit for a prince! 

For our young ladies:
Movers - Please put your child’s hair into two side bunches, if length allows
Groovers - Please put your child’s hair into a neat bun, if length allows. If not, then please just pull the top back neatly.

Generally, if you can help make their hair as neat and tidy as possible, they will look lovely on stage and for their photographs. We won’t have time to do their hair backstage so we really appreciate your help.

Just their ballet shoes with their names clearly labeled inside of them. 

🩰 Shoes can be purchased from our online shop - www.babyballet.co.uk/shop 

For security and safety reasons, personal items are not to be brought backstage. We would hate it if any of your child’s treasured possessions were lost.

babyballet cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage to personal items.

Under the supervision of the trained chaperones and teachers, children will be taken to a dressing room where they will be helped into their costumes. 

They will then have photos taken by our professional photographer, meet the babyballet characters and finally head to the stage to perform with their class and other children for their section of the show. 

To make things easier, we ask that you have a quick toilet break before checking in your child. But please don’t worry, it will be made clear to each child they can visit the toilet, if needed, and a licensed chaperone or their teacher will take them.

We also do a big toilet trip for each group just before their section takes to the stage! 

Doors will open 20 minutes prior to your show start time and the ushers will let you know when it is time. We have a lot to do in the theatre before we start the show. So please be patient as our little stars' safety and enjoyement is our priority. 

Children will be led onto the stage by their teachers and placed in the right position. They will then dazzle you with their dancing! They will perform the 3 dances they’ve learned in class with the teachers on stage, who will ensure their fun and safety. Other children waiting for their dance will be having fun backstage with our designated chaperones and their teachers.

The show will last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. This of course will be dependent on how fast the children move into their places!

Please leave your mobile on vibrate. This way we can contact you about your child if needed but it won’t spoil other people’s enjoyment of the show.

After all children have completed the performance, they will remain on stage with all of our chaperones and teachers ready for collection. For safety, one nominated adult will then need to collect each child from the theatre. We will release groups one at a time (in show order) and will announce their names over the microphone when they are ready to be officially checked-out. 

We will endeavor to be as speedy as possible, but please be patient! Children must be signed out officially by their chaperone.

Your child will be given a show certificate and a babyballet sticker at the end of the show so don’t leave without them!

You will be able to buy babyballet merchandise at the venue before and after the show. Some items are only sold on show days so don’t forget to have a look!
