Ballerina Gets Ready
From the time she wakes at 8 a.m. until the curtain rises at 8 p.m., a prima ballerina's day is busy, busy, busy with classes, rehearsals and fittings, as well as meals and friendship. A day in the life of a ballerina—hard work, beautiful costumes, and of course, dance!
A day in the life of a ballerina—hard work, beautiful costumes, and of course, dance!
Tonight Iris will take the stage in her new ballet, but she has a long day planned before then. She wakes up early and heads to the theater, where she has classes, costume fittings and rehearsals. With a break for lunch and an unexpected change in partners, soon enough it’s almost show time.
At half an hour to curtain Iris gets her shoes ready and does a few chainés. The musicians tune their instruments as the stage manager calls for places. At 8:00 the curtain rises…and the dancing begins!
Illustrated in glowing watercolors, Ballerina Gets Ready is a peek behind the curtain at the life of a professional ballet dancer and the passion that drives her hard work. Written by accomplished ballerina Allegra Kent, this picture book is perfect for aspiring dancers and curious young readers.
