 Free information for parents, students and teachers about ballet!
  • Are you a parent of a child in ballet class? 
  • Is your child asking for more information after they leave class and you don’t know where to look? 
  • Are you a student that would like to continue your studies? 
  • Are you a teacher looking for more information for your classes? 

In all of the years that I have been teaching ballet and dance to young children I have been asked many questions. I have complied a website all about the questions that I have been asked over the years. Some of the questions that I have been asked are:

“My daughter and I were reading Angelina Ballerina and it mentioned a fouetté. What is a fouetté?

“What age can I bring my daughter to a performance?”

“Do ballet shoes have a right and left foot?”

Students and parents want to have more information after they leave class. They want to continue to learn at home. Whether it is reading with your children, or dancing right along with them this site will help you!

This website contains everything from the history of ballet to an online dictionary with video clips!

Ballet is such a wonderful art form! Who doesn’t appreciate its grace and beauty. Even more so the amount of strength and discipline that is needed to be a professional ballet dancer.  That being said anyone can learn at any age! I didn’t seriously start training until after college and I still feel that I still have a long way to go. I have even started taking private lessons to accelerate my progress and prepare for this site. It is never too late. There are many quality schools ready to take new students. From professional schools to community education. You can find great teachers!

Please take a look at all the free information that is provided. If I have missed something that you are interested in let me know! I will be always adding to the site so please keep coming back for more information.
