Get Ready for Sparkly Tutus and Dazzly Dancing at Storytime Ballet’s ‘The Sleeping Beauty’

The Australian Ballet has always been synonymous with elegance, culture and beauty… but not so much young kids!

Well, that has changed and we’re really excited to tell you all about it!

For the first time ever, The Australian Ballet has created a ballet series specifically for children.  A dreamy kingdom full of magical fairies, a beautiful sleeping princess and a prince searching for his true love … everyone’s favourite fairytale ballet comes to life on stage in a brand-new production of The Sleeping Beauty for children aged 3 and up.  This one is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS.

Join the wedding party with Aurora, follow her Prince through the woods and meet their friends Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, Puss in Boots and Bluebird.

Storytime-Ballet-Sleeping-Beauty

If you’ve been reluctant to take your children to a traditional ballet performance due to the length of the show or the need for your little cherub to actually sit still and be quiet for longer than five minutes, then this is for you!

TAKE A SNEAK PEEK BEHIND THE SCENES AND SEE FOR YOURSELF – JUST GORGEOUS!

Now is the perfect time to introduce your child to the wonderful world of ballet in the best possible way. Packed with gorgeous sparkly tutus, dazzling dancing and enchanting Tchaikovsky music, this first ballet experience is ideal for girls AND boys.

Storytime-Ballet-Sleeping-Beauty-5Storytime-Ballet-Sleeping-Beauty-3Taking into account little attention spans, this exciting production will be under an hour in length and will be interactive. The show will also be narrated by Australian actor, David Wenham to help keep young minds connected to the story as they watch the magic on stage. Budding dance enthusiasts can learn about ballet in fun and engaging pre-show activities and will totally be encouraged to dress up in their favourite ballet-inspired outfits! This show is certainly ticking all the kid-friendly boxes!

Storytime-Ballet-Sleeping-BeautyNow even your littlest big ballet fans will get to enjoy the magic of everyone’s beloved fairytale ballet The Sleeping Beauty.

    I think this is the most perfect Idea!! I have been wanting to take my daughter but was reluctant as I thought it would deter her from her ballet thinking it was boring. This sounds like it would be short and exciting and I’m sure she would come away from it looking forward to the day she gets to learn Pointe.

    It’s such a great idea to have the ballet narrated! My daughter loves the ballet but tends to ask me a lot of questions about what’s going on (something that other patrons tend to frown upon unfortunately). By having it narrated, it is explained as we go, so we both can just sit back and enjoy the beautiful show.

    Bouquets thrown at her feet

    An audience bursts into applause

    It’s the career to beat

    Of course, I’d love a ticket too

    I would love the reminder of doing ballet as a child, it would be thrilling and so beautiful to see the ballet again after all these years.

    Taking children to see the theatre and ballet is broadning their horizons and experiences.

    My 5yr old daughter does ballet and has never seen a ballet concert before. I would love for her to be able to experience this performance and be inspired to take her ballet somewhere special.

    It would be wonderful to take my two boys to see the ballet and give them a bit of culture … something that we’re sadly often lacking in the small regional coastal town that we live in in Northern NSW.

    I’d love to take my son to see some ballet. He’s very strong and agile and I think he’d be really good at it, if he can be persuaded that it’s not just for girls!

    I have a 5 year old daughter who not only loves ballet, but theatrical productions as well. It would be magical for her to experience Sleeping Beauty as her first live ballet performance! I can just imagine the replays that would occur in our lounge room 🙂

    I’d love my little girl to live the magic that is the ballet! I can just picture her being in awe of the production and wanting to be just like the ballerinas on stage!

    I’d like my son to experience what ballet is about for him to realise it’s not just for girls and is a cultured past time.

    Being able to share the magic of Ballet with my three year olds and watching the story that my own little girl was named after would be wonderful!

    I think it would be a great thing to take my son to. Ballet is for everyone, not just girls. And I love that little kids can enjoy this one even more.

    I love how the Storytime Ballet understands that young audiences have short attention spans and want to join in too! My daughter just loves being involved in ballet, dancing and anything musical. I’m sure she would have a ball!

    A magical fairytale filled performance that my daughter would adore and a great excuse for a mother-daughter holiday to Adelaide!

    I’ve only ever seen ballet on the TV but have had people tell me how magical it is live. I would love to see it for myself 🙂

    I love the idea of introducing my daughter to the ballet at such a young age and that it will be targeted to the child audience. I think she would love it!

    I love how the elegance and beauty of Storytime Ballet engage the children to dream that anything is possible. I would love to see this happen to my daughter.

    Fairies, princes and princesses – the stuff of fairy tales (and so many bed time stories over the years!) are made of. We could attend Brisbane or the Gold Coast.

    Storytime Ballet is perfect for little kids who love to dance and be entertained. Storytime gets that little people can’t sit still for long, they love to get involved with the dancing, little people also have shorter attention spans. Having David Wenham narrate the story will help keep the kids interested.

    My daughter is 5 soon and she loves watching ballerinas on TV. She dances and dreams of becoming one in the future. I hope this show would help her understand that everything is possible in life and dream can become a reality one day.
