🩰 Fun Facts About Ballet
Ballet began hundreds of years ago in the royal courts of Italy and France. That's why most ballet steps still have French names, like plié (a knee bend) and pirouette (a spin). Kids start ballet class in soft ballet slippers and learn the basic foot positions first. Only older dancers who have trained for many years dance on pointe shoes. Ballet helps you become flexible and strong and gives you great posture.
🎨 Creative Tip: What to Do With the Finished Picture
Glue little pieces of tulle, tissue paper or glitter onto the tutu. Your coloring page becomes a real sparkly tutu you can touch.
