You’ve been waiting and we’ve been working hard to perfect this one-of-a-kind classical ballet homeschool curriculum… but the wait is over, friend! Designed to be studied together as a family, children of all ages will find themselves fascinated with the historical elements of classical ballet and engaged with the hands on activities that bring this curriculum to life.
Picture this: from the elegant courts of the Italian Renaissance to the grandeur of King Henry II and Catherine de’Medici’s France to King Louis XIV, onto the grand stages of Russia, all the way to America… Our curriculum meticulously traces the evolution of ballet through the ages. It is a breathtaking exploration of cultural evolution and artistic expression that will leave your homeschooling experience enriched and inspired.
What sets our curriculum apart is its immersive approach. We don’t just teach a brief history of ballet; we delve deep into its soul, exploring the stories behind the scenes. With composer studies that resonate with the elegance of Tchaikovsky’s compositions, your child will discover the symphonic heartbeat of ballet. Our curriculum goes beyond the music to celebrate the visionaries who brought ballet to life—the choreographers who wove tales of love, tragedy, and triumph on the stage. From the visionary George Balanchine to the legendary Marius Petipa, students will uncover the genius behind the movements.
What is ballet without its visual poetry? Our artist study shines a spotlight on Degas, capturing the ethereal beauty of ballerinas in his timeless masterpieces. Through his eyes, students will learn to see the grace and strength that define the ballet dancer. Dive into the world of the danseur and ballerina, exploring the dedication, discipline, and sheer artistry that define their craft. From the intricate footwork to the soaring leaps, students will gain a newfound appreciation for the athleticism and artistry of ballet.
And because art knows no bounds, our curriculum extends its embrace to the world of handicrafts. From creating masquerade masks fitting for the very beginnings of ballet – the Italian Renaissance Courts to fun and playful satin ribbon wands, these hands on activities bring the history of ballet to life. And what’s a journey without a taste of the destination? Our curriculum includes a recipe that captures the flavor of the popular ballerina inspired dessert: Pavlova.
No exploration of ballet would be complete without a curated book list of living books that breathe life into its history. From enchanting tales of ballet’s golden age to inspiring biographies of its greatest luminaries, these books will ignite the imagination and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
