Once upon a time, in a land far far away, lived a little girl who loved to dance! She pretended she was a fairy princess exiled to a land of humans and if she would only dance well enough and long enough, her kingdom would be restored to her.
Unfortunately, our little princess suffered from an appalling lack of talent (ok, ok it was me!) and may have even possessed two left feet, so the dream of a fairy kingdom restored never came to pass but she always loved the dance and passed on that love to her own little girls and their little girls after them.
Last year, we were introduced to Prima Princessa, an amazing resource for families interested in ballet. This site features free coloring pages, a ballet dictionary, preschool games, links to ballet schools and dance camps, and shopping links to tutus, tiaras and dress up costumes for little girls. Prima Princessa’s blog at www.TutuZone.com is a great place to find fun ideas for crafts for girls.
This year, they invited us to review their award winning DVD “Prima Princessa presents Sleeping Beauty” performed live by the Royal Ballet in London. The animated Prima Princessa narrates the story and between acts, mini demonstrations from students at the School of American Ballet are featured. After the ballet is over, the adventure continues with a magical tea party and fun floral crafts!
Like their production of The Nutcracker, this is a magical glittery journey for little girls and I cannot wait to see Mikayla and Sophie dancing their way through pretend forests full of fairy-kind, falling into enchanted slumber to be awakened by a handsome prince.
It’s such a beautiful production, I actually watched it through twice before deciding to put it away for Christmas morning! If their reaction the The Nutcracker is any indication, I think they will love Sleeping beauty even more!
Connect with Prima Princess on Facebook and of course, on the Prima Princessa website, too!
The wonderful folks at Prima Princessa would love to continue the tradition they started with life in the lost world last year and are once again offering one of my readers a chance to win a DVD of their wonderful production of Nutcracker! Thank you so much!
