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

Set to Tchaikovsky’s famous score, this magical tale 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!
