![]() I was amazed at how much the ballerinas’ dances resembled the original choreography. After spending the past year watching a professional version, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This weekend, we were thrilled to attend a children’s adaptation of the ballet. (I ought to have stuck with those ballet lessons years ago!) We even celebrated her birthday around Halloween with a Sleeping Beauty Theme, in which I dressed up as Maleficent. We reenact it together with her as Aurora and me as the Lilac Fairy. Since that performance, we have watched the Sleeping Beauty ballet on repeat at my house. This was my daughter’s first time to see a ballet performed live, and she was obsessed with Disney’s 1959 film Sleeping Beauty. I especially enjoyed hearing a friend of mine play the beautiful violin solos as the concertmaster of the pit orchestra. My daughter certainly is! Nearly a year ago, she I had the opportunity to see Tchaikovsky’s ballet Sleeping Beauty performed live by a phenomenal group of dancers and musicians. Most little girls are enamored by ballet.
