Welcome to my Wish Upon a Ballet™ book series for preschool ballet! Do you know a little one who loves to dance? My books are meant to introduce popular ballet stories and inspire young dancers to combine those stories with dance!Whether you have a dancer at home or are a teacher with a class full of excited students. Enjoy these books to help jump start creativity and imagination! Let your little one’s ballet journey begin!The Snow Queen was originally written by Hans Christian Andersen and published in 1844. To this day it is one of his mostly highly acclaimed stories.It is not until recently that this story has been introduced to the ballet world. The first full-length ballet production of The Snow Queen was presented by the California Contemporary Ballet in December 1998. It was choreographed by Aerin Holt with an original score by Randall Michael Tobin. Since then, other ballet companies such as the English National Ballet, Finnish National Ballet and Eugene Ballet in Oregon have all had their own successful productions. I love to use this story in my preschool Wish Upon a Ballet™ classes! The Snow Queen character is very popular and lends itself to so much creativity and imagination. Students love to use their magic powers and build ice castles! Thank you for reading this story! I hope you are now inspired to bring your amazing, snowy ideas to life!
