Ignite Your Students' Love for
Ballet History!
​
When Students Understand Where Steps Came From,
Their Technique Flourishes
​
Can you imagine your students not only understanding ballet's rich history but actually asking, "Can we have a history lesson today?" This isn't a fantasy—it's been the reality in my classroom for more than 5 years. How did I manage this? I've created a teaching approach that keeps class engaging and fun, and I'm excited to share it with you.
Ballet History Made Fun
This comprehensive curriculum is designed to build genuine enthusiasm for ballet history while deepening technical understanding, artistic expression, and connecting to the lineage of excellence students are stepping in. A tall order, but the unique integration of multiple learning styles (with all the planning done for you) gets the job done.
The Magic in the Method:
-
​Complete Lesson Plans: Done-for-you materials integrating visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic elements with zero prep time
-
Chronological Framework: Clear progression through major ballet eras
-
Technical Connections: How historical understanding improves technique, musicality, and performance quality
-
Creative Application: Students demonstrate mastery by creating era-specific choreography (appropriate composers included)
-
Teaching Frameworks: Age-appropriate approaches for different levels

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.
