Ignite Your Students' Love for Ballet History!
​Finally, Ballet History That Students Actually Want to Learn
​
​
​
Are you ready to hear your students genuinely ask, "Can we have a history lesson today?" This remarkable transformation has been happening in classrooms for over five years, proving that ballet history can become the highlight of your students' learning experience.
A Thoughtfully Crafted Curriculum
This comprehensive ballet history curriculum fills a long-standing gap in ballet education. While most of us remember ballet history as dry recitation of dates and names, this curriculum transforms historical learning into an exciting journey of discovery that students genuinely love.
A Complete Learning System:
-
Lecture notes for confident teacher delivery
-
Word searches for reading/writing learners (plus an essential fidgeting outlet to help students maintain focus)
-
Movement creation prompts - students actually dance the history they're learning
-
Curated video playlist with multiple examples per unit for visual learners
Students don't just learn about historical styles - they create and perform historically accurate movement as part of regular class time. This goes far beyond names and dates; it's a complete teaching ecosystem that keeps every student engaged while actively applying their learning!
I was shocked when my students started asking, "Can we do a history lesson today?" Incorporating so many learning approaches transformed ballet history from a boring lecture into their favorite class. After five years, I'm still amazed by how much they love it—and how much their dancing has improved as a result.
