Fall under the spell of Cinderella, an interactive Storytime Ballet experience for children aged three years and older.

A classic fairytale, Cinderella is a beautiful maiden, forced to wait on her wicked stepmother and stepsisters. With the help of her fairy godmother she is transformed into a princess, complete with glittering ball gown and glass slippers!

Choreographed by former Artistic Director of The Australian Ballet David McAllister, this tale of true love and magic is the perfect way to introduce little ones to the world of ballet.

Storytime Ballets are led by an engaging narrator and run for under an hour to keep children captivated. Dressing up in your favourite ballet-inspired outfit and dancing in your seat are warmly encouraged!

Storytime Ballet, interactive performances for the next generation of dance enthusiasts, has been made possible by the generous support of Gandel Philanthropy, the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation, and many generous individuals across Australia.
