Tippy Toes Ballet is a highly regarded dance school located in Melbourne. The club offers ballet classes specifically designed for children aged 2 to 7 years old. Tippy Toes Ballet is fully accredited to run and teach the Kinderballet programme, which focuses on imaginative and creative movement.

The founder and principal teacher of Tippy Toes Ballet is Cynthia, who has had a lifelong passion for ballet. She began her ballet journey at the age of 6 and danced for 14 years with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD). Cynthia furthered her education by obtaining her Teaching Diploma at the RAD College in London. With over 22 years of teaching experience, including the last 6 years focusing on Kinderballet, Cynthia believes in instilling a love for learning ballet from a young age while also having fun.

Tippy Toes Ballet aims to provide a fun and supportive learning environment where children can develop coordination, balance, discipline, listening skills, and self-expression. The classes offered by the club are designed to lay the foundation for future ballet techniques. Cynthia believes that the arts are vital in a child's overall development, and through Tippy Toes Ballet, she hopes to share her knowledge and passion with a new generation of children.
