Class Experience

Welcome to the Kingdom of Sweets where your ballerina can saute like the Snowflakes and chasse with the Sugar Plum Fairy! This one time beginning ballet class is infused with holiday spirit and even includes ballerina craft time during which learners will be encouraged to share what they love best about this time of year! 

The instructor will be wearing a special Sugar Plum Fairy costume. Ballet attire, or fancy dress is encouraged but not required. The choreography for the Nutcracker's Sugar Plum Fairy dance is original, age appropriate choreography

Learning Goals

We will learn about the story of the Nutcracker Ballet. We will also practice ballet movement and learn terminology. Movement may consist of plie, releve, tondue, posse, chasse, saute, port de bras, pique, chaine, or other wonderful ballet movement. But most of all, we will have FUN!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
For the Dancing Portion of class, please create a space that is open and large enough for your dancer to move, dance, jump and glide without bumping into things. Learners should wear comfortable clothing that they can easily move in. Ballet or Fancy Attire is encouraged, but not required. Learners should either wear ballet shoes or have bare feet. Please no socks, as dancers can easily slip while wearing them. Dancers may have a water bottle nearby, and take a sip when needed. Please help your learner know how to mute and unmute themselves. There could be times during the class when this skill is needed. The craft includes the use of scissors, please have safety scissors available for your learner, and help them to know how to make a small cut. The craft also includes twisting pipe cleaners, and coloring with markers. Coffee filters are thin by nature, if you are concerned about markers bleeding through, please take appropriate measures.
Supply List
Craft Supplies - 
2 Pipe Cleaners (your choice of color, the Pipe Cleaners will make the ballerina's body)

scissors
markers

**Please note that coffee filters are thin by nature. If you are concerned about markers bleeding through, please take appropriate measures.
**Please make sure that your learner can safely use the scissors you provide.
