Ballet Workshop

Today Shannon from the Royal New Zealand Ballet Company helped us learn more about ballet in preparation for our visit to The Nutcracker in week 4. He showed us how ballet dancers do not speak on stage but mime words and actions with their bodies. We all had a try at miming happy, sad,beautiful, angry and lots of others too! We leaned about the ballet positions, how to leap through the air and how to point our toes. It was so much fun!
