Little Boppers

Our Little Boppers classes are for children aged 2 to 4 years old.

Little Boppers is the perfect introduction to performing arts. We explore dance, movement, music, poetry, stories, props and more! Through this, the children will develop coordination, rhythm, musicality and most of all confidence! All while having lots of fun too!

We run 3 Little Boppers classes each week.
9am to 9.45am - Ages 2 to 3
9.45am to 10.30am - Ages 3 to 4
10.30am to 11.15am - Ages 3 to 4

Our Little Boppers classes are run by Ema Waites. We also have 3 of our senior students, Lily, Rio and Lucy helping in the sessions to support the children. To find out more about our teachers and staff check out our meet the team page.

How much are Little Boppers classes?

Our Little Boppers classes are £5.50 per week which is paid on a half termly basis. You will be emailed an invoice which will include details of how to make payment. We are unable to offer refunds for missed classes. When children first join us we offer a 3 week trial for £16.50 which gives you the opportunity to make sure children settle into classes before you commit to paying for a full half term.

Where and when do Little Boppers classes take place?

All of Saturday Stage Schools classes take place at Whitley Bay Young People's Centre which is located just behind Whitley Bay Ice Rink. We run 3 Little Boppers classes on Saturday Mornings. 9am - 9.45am (age 2 to 3), 9.45am - 10.30am (age 3 to 4) and 10.30am - 11.15am (age 3 to 4). To find out which class would be best suited to your little one please get in touch.

Do I need to stay with my child during their class?

You are welcome to wait in our reception area during your child's class. Refreshments are available during this time including tea, coffee and snacks. However, you don't have to wait, you're welcome to leave and come back in time for the end of class.

Will my child take part in any performances?

At the end of each term we invite the grown ups of our little ones into their Little Boppers class to watch what we have been working on throughout the term.

What does my child need to wear for their class?

We ask all Little Boppers to wear clothing and shoes that are appropriate to dance in. If children are wearing footwear that isn't appropriate for class we may ask them to take part in bare feet. We have ballet shoes and Little Boppers t-shirts available to buy at class each week.

Does my child need to bring anything to their class?

Children are welcome to bring a small drink to class with them. After their class we open the tuck shop so you're welcome to send your child with some money to spend on some after class treats. All money raised from the tuck shop goes towards fundraising for our summer show.
