Girls who love the ballet will probably be enchanted by most productions, provided they are old enough to be happy sitting still and staying relatively quiet throughout. If she is still too young, you could of course get hold of a ballet DVD to watch together at home.
Particular favorite ballets of little girls are usually the classics. They love to see sparkly ballerinas in pretty tutus, so it is probably best to avoid anything modern and unconventional as a first ballet.
The Nutcracker would be perfect, as the starring character, Clara, is supposed to be a young girl and there may also be child dancers in the production. Your best chance of catching this is near Christmas as it is a traditional Christmas ballet.
Coppelia is also a wonderful ballet for children to watch, as they will enjoy the story of the doll and it has a happy ending too.
The Sleeping Beauty is ideal if you can find a production, as it is full of fairytale magic and beautiful costumes.
Ballet Lovers, Leave a Note
If my mom had bought me such a pretty pink tutu as a child, it would still be hanging in my closet in my old age :)
Absolutely adorable. Almost makes me wish that I was 4 years-old again! That black dress with the white flower is stunning. It would look great on not so young girls as well. Welcome to Wizzley. Looking forward to more of your work.
Such cute ballerina costumes! Lots of little girls will just love them!
