ABOUT CLAIRE OCONNOR

Going into 2024, I am passionately and wholeheartedly continuing my quest 🩰 to bring babyballet®, the fun and inclusive preschool ballet classes and brand, to all children through franchising and licensing globally. Established in Halifax, UK in 2005, there are now over 100 licensed sites teaching over children in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. In addition to our award-winning fun and inclusive tap and ballet syllabus, we have also developed children’s parties, characters, uniform and merchandise, stage shows and events. I am passionate about growing the brand whilst maintaining our exceptional brand standards and ethos of enhancing every child’s life. Covid provided us with a fantastic opportunity to take our program online and develop our range of children’s characters - two parts of the business I am very excited to grow further through licensing and partnerships. Although my own experiences of ballet were not great, my mission is to make ballet fun, build confidence and ensure inclusivity for every child! I am excited to connect with sparkly people to make the babyballet dream come true
