Our young aspiring dancers got a chance to channel their inner ballerinas at our momstown Milton Music and Movement Event. Dressed in their tutus and tiaras, the dancers were all raring to go as they walked into The Dance Class and saw all the wonderful stations set up. From arts and crafts to the Toys Trunk play station, and the princess / ballerina puzzles, the event sponsored by Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes had all of the right components to make every ballerina's dreams come true!
The play area equipped with a vanity and Doll house was put to good use. Our dancers worked intensely making sure they had the proper outfits on and that their hair and makeup were just right for their upcoming "recital". It was super cute to watch as the imaginations soared thinking about their debut performance! . Barbie™ has recently released a line of dolls, accessories and a play set that will allow little ballerinas the chance to act out scenes from the movie with an outfit that changes with just a twist of the doll. Role playing is an important part of everyone's childhood and this doll will lend itself to all kinds of fabulous performances.
The main attraction of the event was a ballet demo courtesy of Miss Lizzie and Miss Ashley from The Dance Class. Step by step the real live ballerinas taught the future dancers some basic moves that they needed to practice in order to become a prima Ballerina. The best part of the demo was when the Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes theme song was played and the girls were encouraged to dance freely to the music. Watching them delight as they twirled about reminded me of the Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes Movie that momstown had the pleasure of pre-screening. In the movie the main character - Kristyn learns that when you dance from your heart – your dreams can come true. The expressions on each of the faces was a true testimonial to that very important message.
Sadly enough the event was nearing its end but not until everyone had a chance to sample a cupcake from our friends at Sprinkles.
Several wonderful door prizes were drawn including a copy of the Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes DVD. The little girl who won was grinning from ear to ear and told her mother that she wanted to leave immediately so that she could watch the DVD at home!
Don't forget to enter our Contest giveaway running for the month of March for another chance to win this must have DVD. Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes is now available on the shelves for purchase on both Blu-Ray and DVD and would be a great addition to every child's movie collection.
The event was a success from beginning to end. Being able to dance with a real live ballerina was dream come true for many of the little girls in attendance. It will be an event they will talk about for years to come.
