My First Ballet Class with Florrie Flamingo | Book & Lesson Plan

Описание: My First Ballet Class with Florrie Flamingo© | Book and Dance EdVenture™

Joining ballet class for the very first time can be a big step—not just for little dancers, but for their grown-ups too. That’s why My First Ballet Class with Florrie Flamingo© is more than just a lesson plan—it’s a gentle, playful, and structured introduction to the ballet classroom, designed to ease separation anxiety and help each child feel safe, confident, and curious about what’s ahead. With familiar routines and friendly characters, this Dance to Learn® experience gives young dancers the support they need to feel at home on their first day.

In this Ballet Dance EdVenture™, created especially for ages 3–6, you’ll use the beautifully illustrated story Florrie Flamingo’s First Ballet Class to guide children through the emotions, routines, and structure of their very first ballet class. Florrie, along with her encouraging teacher Bella Bear and kind classmates like Swanhilda Swan and Oscar Ostrich, models what it feels like to be new, to try something for the first time, and to discover that with practice, encouragement, and support—they belong.

Florrie Flamingo's First Ballet Class is a Children's Book designed for Ballet Teachers as a fun and fanciful way to welcome dancers to their first dance class.

Join Florrie Flamingo on this new adventure as she joins Bella Bear at her very first ballet class. Florrie meets friends in class who have been dancing ballet for a while, including Swanhilda Swan and Oscar Ostrich. Although Florrie loves ballet, she has a difficult time mastering all the moves in this first ballet class, but Bella Bear sees potential in her. With a little hard work, practice and determination she thinks Florrie Flamingo can be a ballerina yet!

Ballet Teachers will love how this book can be incorporated right into your daily class flow. Ballet Terminology and accurate images of movements are included. We introduce boys to ballet in this book with the introduction of Oscar Ostrich. Images are bright and colorful and take your dancers into Bella Bear’s Ballet Studio as they learn ballet with Florrie Flamingo.
