Twinkle & Teddy's Grand Adventure - Sunday 18th October
Everything you need to know about our Show
Our Show will take place at:
Djanogly Theatre, Sherwood Rise, Nottingham NG7 7AR
The show fee is £42 (inclusive of VAT) per child, payable at the time of registration via the online sign-up form (link below). All registrations must be completed by 27th June 2026. Any late registrations cannot be guaranteed a place in the show.
If your child is unable to take part, please email us to let us know so we can update our records and ensure you don’t receive further show emails after the deadline.
When completing the registration form, please ensure you include any up-to-date medical information and any other relevant details we should be aware of in the notes section. This information must be completed in full, as it will be used for Licence Exemption forms required by the local council.
Please note, once the fee has been paid it is non-refundable, even if your child later decides not to take part, as costumes, show t-shirts, and other items are ordered in advance.
There are no additional rehearsals required, as all show dances are taught within your child’s regular babyballet® classes.
What time is the show?
We’re planning for two shows on the day: 11:00am and 2:30pm. However, this will depend on overall numbers.
Once registration has closed, we’ll confirm how many shows will be taking place.
Children will need to arrive and sign in at least one hour before their allocated show time, giving them plenty of time to get ready and settled backstage.
You’ll be notified in advance of your child’s arrival time at the theatre.
Please note: show times will be lovingly organised and assigned by us.
We would love to be able to avoid this charge; however, we provide gorgeous professional costumes for your children and, as you will see, these really make the show.
We also provide a wide range of backstage support, including experienced chaperones, activities, and care to ensure every child is safe, happy, and having lots of fun throughout their time with us.
To help bring the show to life, we also include professional actors and dancers as part of the performance.
This fee helps us create a truly special, high-quality theatre experience for both the children and the audience, and ensures the day runs as smoothly and safely as possible.
We kindly ask that you do not take photographs or videos during the show.
We have a wonderful professional photographer who will be capturing special moments before the show, as well as live photos during the performance. These will be available to view and purchase after the show, with full details sent out afterwards.
The babyballet® show will be filmed and turned into a souvenir digital link for streaming that is included in the show sign up fee. Signing up to the show will automatically give consent for your child to be filmed and included in this recording.
The email address used in the sign up form will be the email the digital link is sent to.
PLEASE NOTE: Only parents with children performing in the show will have access to the show recording.
You will be asked to confirm your consent for photos and video on the show sign up form so please indicate if you are happy for the show photographers to take photos of your child.
By providing professional photography and filming, we hope you can sit back, relax, and fully enjoy watching your little star shine on stage, without worrying about capturing the moment yourself.
Tickets are £15 per seat (plus booking fee per ticket).
Children aged 2 and under may sit on an adult’s lap, unless you would prefer to purchase them their own seat.
We will send full ticket booking details closer to the show date.
Ticket income helps to cover the significant costs of running the show, including theatre hire, front-of-house staff, and the professional technical team and equipment needed to create a really special theatre experience for your children.
Your child will need to be checked in at least one hour before the start of the show.
Specific arrival times and full instructions will be sent closer to the show date.
As the theatre has a smaller foyer space, this area will be closed during check-in to allow us to safely and smoothly welcome all performers.
Parents are very welcome to drop off their children and return once the foyer reopens, which will be approximately one hour before the show. At this point, refreshments will be available to purchase, and you can relax before the performance begins.
What do I need to provide on the day?
Children will need to arrive wearing black leggings (to be worn in the finale) and a top that is easy to remove and clearly labelled.
Your child will leave wearing their black leggings and their show t-shirt. All children participating in the show will receive a show t-shirt to wear on show day (included in sign up fee). These t-shirts are for your child to take home and keep for a memento after the show. The t-shirts are on the larger side so everyone will receive aged 3-4 years, apart from Groovers who will receive aged 5-6 years. These t-shirts will be your child's to take home and keep after the show.
They will also need proper ballet shoes:
pink for girls
black for boys
Please ensure these are suitable ballet shoes and not fancy-dress shoes, as we want little feet to be safe.
We will provide drinks and snacks if your child is hungry or thirsty. All snacks provided will be dairy and nut-free.
To help us manage allergies safely, children should not bring their own food or drinks backstage.
If your child has specific allergies or dietary requirements, please contact us in advance and we will be happy to make arrangements—children with allergies will be able to bring suitable snacks with prior agreement.
Please note that extra bags will not be allowed backstage.
Can I go backstage with my child?
Unfortunately, parents are not able to go backstage.
We take the safety of your children very seriously, and only fully DBS-checked chaperones, verified by us, are allowed backstage.
We have a wonderful team of experienced and trusted chaperones who have supported us at previous shows.
In the unlikely event that your child becomes upset and needs to see you, we will contact you on your mobile and meet you at the theatre entrance.
Each child will be issued with a personalised identification band, and all emergency contact details will be kept safely on hand at all times.
Aren't the children too young to be on stage?
Unfortunately not. We take the safety of your children very seriously, and only chaperones who have had proper DBS checks double-checked by us are allowed backstage. We have an amazing team of chaperones who have worked on shows with us and whom we know very well.
In the unlikely event that your child is upset and needs to see you, we will call you on your mobile and meet you at the theatre entrance. Each child will be issued with a personalised identification band and we will have all phone numbers to hand.
What happens if my child needs the toilet?
We ask that your child has a quick toilet break before being checked-in but we also ask you to encourage them to please let us know if they need to go to the toilet and one of our chaperones will take them. Children should be out of nappies to take part in the show. Chaperones will also make a point to ask the children about toilet breaks at regular intervals.
What will I see during the show?
Children will be led onto the stage by their teachers one by one and placed into position. They will then DAZZLE you with their dancing! They will perform the dances with two teachers on stage (their usual teacher and another member of the babyballet team), who will ensure their safety. Each class will have 3 songs to perform as well as their entrance.
Can I use my mobile phone during the show?
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.
How long is the show?
The show will last approximately one hour and 30 minutes. This of course will be dependent on how fast the children move into their places!
Where and when do I collect my child?
After all children have completed the performance, they will remain on back stage with all of our chaperones and teachers ready for collection. Collection will be from the same place as drop-off.
For safety, we ask for one nominated adult to return to the drop-off point and we will then release groups one at a time (in show order) and will announce their names 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.
Is there anything else I need to know?
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!
What if my child doesn't appear on stage?
Thank you for reading the information above thoroughly to ensure smooth running on the day. We hope you all enjoy the show and will be proud of all your little superstars!
