Boys are involved in ballet too!

Aiden's sister learned ballet and she has the ballet dress. Therefore, Aiden brought it today and shared with the class.

Then, after that, I shared a few videos that show boys or men are involved in ballet dancing performance. 

Video #1: Ballet Training

(Now, Aiden and the other boys in the class know that ballet is not just for girls.)

Video #2: Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake - four little swans

(In this video, we learned that the ballet dancer has to be light and flexible in their movement. The children were amazed to see how fast they could dance. )

Video #3: Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker

(In this video, the children could see the male dancer who dances together with the female dancer to perform a show on stage. Most of the female dancers in this show wears a tutu dress. )

Now the children were more aware of the costume wore during a ballet dancing performance. 

We shall carry an art work on Friday regarding the tutu dress.
