Hop Little Broadway provides a unique blend of music from musicals, film and stage together with brand new and exciting songs. Don't panic we'll still include some old nursery rhyme classics, they just sound a bit more fancy with a West end voice to serenade your precious ones and lead you all in a true stagey style sing song.
Enter our world of make-believe and see the classes through the eyes of a child.
Musical theatre is a play, a story that uses music and songs to advance the plot and forward it's narrative
At Hop Little Broadway each class is a cleverly designed theatrical story led through music, sensory props, movement and play
Within the theatre the use of props, costume, sensory sights & sounds enhance the make-believe experience
As we journey through our story we engage in it's make-believe, a pom-pom is never a pom-pom, never the next 'activity', in fact all sensory elements become something else. This enables us to become characters, scenery, elements of our story to advance our plot, increase our imagination and discover new ways to play while stimulating and engaging our little stars, building their developmental and learning milestones and fostering their growth
All the sights, sounds and sensory delights you would expect in a baby/ toddler/pre-school class will be there, just with the imaginative touch of Broadway, magic and make-believe!
Musical theatre has been an enormous part of my story, let Hop Little Broadway make it a part of yours!

There is a beautiful & poignant lyric from the Musical Into the Woods:
"Careful the things you say, children will listen, careful the things you do, children will see & learn"
Imaginative play, or 'make-believe', is a driver for early brain development and helps to build those important early language and communication skills, moving on to boost our creativity and boundless imagination
Hop Little Broadway embraces 'symbolic play', make-believing a pom-pom is the hair of a scrunchie scarecrow, a foil blanket the splashes from a puddle on a rainy day, a sensory scarf now the waves in the sea, or a kite in the sky. Feathers become paint brushes, foil curtains the grasslands. But through our make-believe nothing is ever as it first appears!
By getting in touch with your own 'inner child' and using your imagination we will help you enhance ways to connect and play
By actively participating in our make-believe classes they become a shared musical journey building bonds and encouraging creative play that will last a life time
Pretend play is fun, it develops beautiful connections while we teach, through the songs, music, actions, movements, gestures, sensory delights and facial responses we share
We ensure just the right amount of repetition that babies and toddlers love and learn from.
Make-believe is in us all, by embracing 'pretend' and engaging in 'play' you're helping your little ones learn symbolically and develop critical skills that they will grow, build and use throughout life.
In the words of Willie Wonker
"Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination"

From West End to baby bend!
Former West end and touring musical theatre actor, now a Mummy to two beautiful, spritely girls, Bonnie & Freya
From an early age I would appear from behind the curtain at home announcing the show was about to begin! I’d watch in awe and copy routines from the musical films, mesmerised how their use of storytelling could take you on such magical journeys through the use of song.
Working in professional theatre only deepened my love of musicals and the wonderful world of Disney.
Teaching young children alongside my professional prancing about enabled me to bring make-believe to life, through movement, music, song and storytelling for the most precious and willing participants.
So naturally when I became a mum my natural style of play was just an extension of all this.
When I attended baby and toddler classes with my own girls I felt I needed more. I realised quickly there was room to incorporate the wonderful world of musical theatre and make-believe into baby and toddler group spaces, not just for the little ones, but for Mummies, Daddies and Carers too!
So, Hop Little Broadway was born, with content sign off by my 5 year old and the help of my now 22 month old daughter we've played, moved, sung and grooved through her developing milestones to build age appropriate classes that I would love to share with you
So if you want a baby, toddler class with a difference, come along and join us, it’s sure to be
WICKED!

Creating a world full of colours
Welcome to the the world of theatre!
Fun and vibrant classes where parents and carers are considered, involved and encouraged to participate just as much as our little stars
We sing and move, perform and groove, we wiggle and giggle and shine!
We explore, learn and play through make-believe and musically enhanced story telling
Expect puppets, parachutes, exciting props bags, instruments and additional sensory delights
As the curtain falls on our structured class its time for the after show party. It's a reminder to stop, look and really embrace the simplicity of those early smiles, first giggles, wiggles and baby bops that go so quickly, to snuggle, cuddle, swing and sway before turning our thoughts to much needed caffeine!
An ideal place to meet new parents and take away imaginative ideas for simple creative play at home
There is no minimum age to join our musical journey, we appreciate that singing, music & sensory has the power to stimulate, soothe and enrich early development, so our class age categories are used as a guide.
All classes last 40 minutes (approx).
Drop in classes may be possible depending on availability and are a great way to audition us!

Hop Little Broadway have specifically tailored these classes to be more interactive and dynamic for the evolving interests and abilities of our toddlers.
Music and make-believe not only develops their language and communication skills but also channels their boundless enthusiasm into creativity and self-expression
Its the age where our little stars begin adopting the ability of 'self-pretend' making the journey our classes take into make-believe even more magical
