Question: What Is a Good Ballet for Kids?
Answer: Most children, especially girls, love to watch ballerinas perform on stage. Taking your child to a ballet performance is a fun way to introduce her (or him) to the world of ballet. It's especially fun to make the evening exciting by dressing up for a nice dinner before the show.
It's a good idea to choose a classic ballet for young children, as most of the classics contain fairy tale plots. Good choices are Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake. If your child likes comedy, a good one is Coppélia, a funny story about a living doll.
Probably the most-loved of all the ballets, a performance of The Nutcracker is a wonderful choice for kids. Most cities offer several chances to see The Nutcracker during the holiday season, and most kids will want to see it again and again.
