A BABY ballet class raised thousands for charity with a special themed dance event.

Keiley Evans runs the baby ballet classes in Chafford Hundred, Grays, Stanford-Le-Hope, Laindon and Leigh. The classes are for babies and toddlers from six months to five years.

Keiley said: “In 2016, baby ballet and Peppa Pig came together to raise vital funds for Tommy’s - the baby charity. All our little stars took part in a special Peppa Pig themed ballet lesson as part of their regular baby ballet class and we raised over £5,000. The fundraising didn’t stop there as we have been dancing in pyjamas to raise money for Children in Need, too.”
