Every little princess loves dancing, tutu’s and ballet … I do.. dont you?  Getting out and about to see great shows and ballet with the kids is a great`day out.

We made a call out to our facebook fans and customers for pics of their budding ballet dancers…. all these gorgeous budding princesses and ballerina’s are from that call out… and all look a million dollars.  Thank you to everyone who sent in pictures!

The Australian Ballet is a firm favourite amongst mums and their little girls. I have aways been bought up dancing , attending ballet school and was a pupil at The Victorian School of Ballet.  So was only natural that our daughter loved it too.  We went to the Melbourne Art Centre early this year and we saw Angelina Ballerina… it was lovely.  So am flicking through to see whats new and probably take her to Sleeping beauty coming up.  The Australian ballet website will tell you whats coming up and what reviews they have received.  Here is info about Sleeping Beauty ….

Stanton Welch’s smash hit The Sleeping Beauty enchants Australian audiences once again

A princess, cursed by a wicked fairy, falls into a hundred-year sleep on her sixteenth birthday. Only the kiss of her one true love can break the spell …

Seventeenth-century fairytale The Sleeping Beauty was first adapted to the stage by Marius Petipa in 1890. The décor, the dancing and the spellbinding score by Tchaikovsky made it an instant classic.

In Stanton Welch’s hands, this timeless fairytale became a greater story about the nature of good and evil, replete with romance, enchantment, and three acts of beautiful dancing. Designer Kristian Fredrikson conjured a series of opulent fantasy worlds that evoked the exoticism of the Orient and the Middle East. Welch, meanwhile, infused the tale with fresh, fiendishly difficult choreography and brought to life a cast of unforgettable characters, including charming animals, irresistible fairies, and the ravishing baddie Carabosse.

The Sleeping Beauty, as The Daily Telegraph concluded, is “thoroughly enchanting … Beautiful to look at but also beautifully danced.” This magical ballet is not to be missed.

I would love to go watch all the above ballerina’s dancing… whether its at home, creche, school or ballet class.  There something so magical watching little girls in dance.  A couple mums above also have wonderful businesses so please support them as they have supported La Toriana.

Do you know any of them?
