Come join the fun with Rochelle as she shows children how exciting and fun ballet is when they use their imagination, show emotions with music, use mime, and dance a story. Rochelle shows how ballet is a magical world of whatever you want it to be.The video begins with Rochelle in her pretend castle, showing children how fun it is to use their imagination and dance the Princess Dance at her beautiful Ball. In the Spanish Dance, children imagine that there’s a big parade in town and they are invited to dance on one of the Floats. Of course they first have to put on their pretend stage makeup!
In the Emotions Dance, Rochelle teaches children how emotions can be shown (without words) while dancing. She dances the emotions of happy, sad, afraid, mad, and in love. Children are encouraged to guess which ones she is dancing.
The Doll Dance is a funny and silly dance, teaching children that ballet doesn’t always have to be serious. In the Hummingbird Dance, Rochelle shows children how to feel the music and dance what they feel, in this case, like a hummingbird! Rochelle also teaches mime that is sometimes used in ballet performances, which will help children understand them better. The video ends with a story being read and then Rochelle shows how that story can be danced.
