momstown KW Ballets with Barbie at Star Performance Dance Academy for Music & Movement

momstown Kitchener-Waterloo hosted a very special Music and Movement event this March, for little girls and big.  Our event featured ballet and Barbie, to promote the Barbie™ In The Pink Shoes movie, the latest release available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD!


 



Barbie™ in the Pink Shoes is an exciting ballet movie in which Barbie™ stars as Kristyn, the hard-working dancer, who wows the big ballet company in her performance of Giselle and Swan Lake. Through this journey Kristyn learns that when you dance from your heart – your dreams can come true.

 The Star Performance Dance Academy in Waterloo graciously hosted us for this fabulous event, and even provided a Ballet Barbie to teach us!  And yes, they call her Barbie.  They led us through some fancy dancey Ballet moves, all child-focused and then had us skipping, marching and crawling across the room.  Soon we were dancing in circles, and with each other!  The girls were mesmerized with the Royal Tutu on Barbie and her proper pink satin shoes. 

 

 After all our skipping and spinning, we settled down to create our very own little ballerina's.  We gave them coloured tutu's, princess crown's, ballet shoes, ponies, castles and anything else pretty that would stick.  Even the babies were admiring the paper ballerina's :)

What is a special party without cupcakes and punch right?  And of course, they had to be pink!

This is one happy mom, she is the lucky raffle winner and gets to take home a copy of the Barbie™ In The Pink Shoes movie!

Our biggest surprise of the day was definitely our Barbie Photo Booth.  It was handmade by our very own event coordinator, Lindsay.  Isn't it super cute?  The girls couldn't wait to climb in and pose for their mommies.  All we were missing was a red (or pink) carpet, to complete the paparazzi moment.   Do you see a tired Barbie below? 

After all the dance lessons, crafting, cupcakes and punch, our little ballerina's were looking forward to their play and social time. They brought out their Barbie dolls and started to play when Star Performance Dance Academy brought in one last surprise for them all.  Balloons for everyone!  And now that the girls had full bellies, gotten crafty, danced & played, it was time to head home for lunch, with a blue balloon in hand. 

Thank you so much to everyone that partied with us and help make this a beautiful Barbie Ballet day!
