Hello

In Class

• Teaching aid for preschool and junior ballet classes — use the storybooks to introduce ballet stories, characters, mime and simple classical ballet concepts.

• Themed ballet lessons — build a class around The Nutcracker or The Sleeping Beauty, using the story, movements and characters as inspiration.

• Storytime and movement sessions — read part of the story, then bring it to life through mime, movement and simple ballet exercises.

• Reinforcing ballet stories, mime and terminology — use the books to help children connect the movements they are learning with the stories, characters and language of classical ballet.

Around the Studio

• Studio waiting area or library — give younger dancers something engaging and ballet-related to look through before or after class.

• Quiet-time activities — use the resources during breaks, workshops, special studio days or quieter moments.

• Activity Books, Colouring Books and Memory Card Games — provide fun, ballet-themed activities that children can enjoy independently or together.

• Welcome or enrolment packs — include a book or resource as a special addition for younger dancers joining the studio.

Special Events & Workshops

• Holiday workshops and ballet camps — use the books, Activity Books, Colouring Books and games as part of a themed workshop program.

• Concert or recital preparation — especially useful when your studio is performing The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty or another classical ballet, helping children understand the story and characters behind what they are dancing.

• Backstage - keep your youngest students entertained with books, colouring in, activity books and card games.

• Themed studio days — create a special ballet day around a story, character or classical ballet.

• Student gifts, prizes and concert presents — ideal for end-of-year gifts, achievement awards, concert gifts or special occasions.

For Families & Retail

• Home learning — encourage students to continue exploring ballet stories, terminology and activities outside the studio.

• Books and resources for studio families — offer families a way to continue their child’s interest in ballet at home.

• Retail products for studios — studios can offer the books and companion resources directly to families as an additional service and potential source of income.

• Helping children build a deeper connection with classical ballet — the combination of storytelling, movement and play can help young dancers connect with ballet beyond simply learning the steps.
