Did you know that Lilac Fairy in Sleeping Beauty the ballet
is thought to be named as such due to a Russian tradition of placing babies under Lilac trees to bring the child good fortune and wisdom.

The Lilac Fairy prologue solo is on of the South Island Ballet Award variations. Is this the variation for you? Have you selected your SIBA variation for 2027? Let us know in the comments.

The Christchurch Ballet Society is pleased to share a teaching opportunity that may be of interest to our teaching community. Adam Hayward from MOVE Otautahi Inc, are seeking an intermediate to experienced ballet teacher to work with a group of young divers from Canterbury Diving as part of their regular training programme.

The role would involve delivering a one-hour ballet barre class on Saturday mornings during term time, using ballet technique to help develop strength, balance, coordination, alignment and movement quality.

This is a paid opportunity and offers a unique chance to work with young athletes and demonstrate the benefits of ballet training beyond the dance studio.
