Vocabulary: Use Ballet
Shoe Shape Book to write the vocabulary words. We used: plier, relever,
etendre, sauter, glisse, tourner, elancer.
Five Ballet Positions: We cut out the ballet
positions from Pittsburg Ballet Theatre. We glued them into a 4"x6"
book. We cut the book down the middle, so we could mix and match the
hand and feet positions.

of the body from Andros on Ballet. We added a cover and stapled
them together.

position image from BalletSecretsforSkaters.com. It is about halfway
down the page. We folded it into a hot dog fold and put an x through
the 2 incorrect arm positions.

Positions and used a brass paper fastener to make them into a fan
book.

book to answer questions about the history of ballet.

ballet images and glued them into a booklet. We labeled each picture.
