Dance Camp Ages 7 to 9: CINDERELLA Once Upon a Ballet™ Dance Camp Ages 7 to 9: CINDERELLA Once Upon A Ballet™ This month's fairy tale is Cinderella! We’ll meet Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother as she sends Cinderella off to the ball. We’ll learn about the changing seasons and meet the season fairies who also help Cinderella get ready for the ball. We’ll dance as Cinderella when she meets the prince and flees from the palace when the clock strikes twelve! This lesson plan set is meant to be used in a camp format. The following are differences between the regular monthly lesson plan sets and these camp lesson plan sets: - Camp lesson plans: - Camp lesson plans are divided into three age groups instead of five age groups: ages 3-5, 5-7, and 7-9. You may adapt these to however you see fit. - For each age group, you should have received 1 full class lesson plan (meant to be 45 minutes for ages 3-7; 1 hour for ages 7-9) and 1 mini class lesson plan (meant to be 30 minutes for ages 3-7; 45 minutes for ages b7-9). - Camp lesson plans remain ballet-based. - Camp lesson plans include a story dance for each age group that can be presented to parents on the last day. - Camps are meant to last 2.5 to 3 hours, starting with a full length class, followed by a snack, craft and mini class. You may, of course adapt the materials to what best suits classes and students at your studio. - You should have also received a Camp Snacks and Crafts document. - You should have also received the usual announcement image, coloring pages, certificate, sticker charts, and links to playlists. MONTHLY OBJECTIVES 1. Brushes sharply out in dégagé 2. Sways from side to side with chassés 3. Performs a combination of sautés in 1st and échappés 4. Walks with stretched feet 5. Can show the difference between a quick/sharp movement and a slow/fluid movement (dynamics) COLORING PAGES + ACTIVITY SHEETS We recommend giving a sticker and ballet coloring page / activity sheet to each student who has behaved in class. Coloring pages are a great reward to inspire students, as well as reinforce concepts learned in class. We also want to encourage you to compliment each student with something specific she/he did well in class that day. This will help each student to feel proud as she/he leaves class each week and be more eager to return the following week. Coloring pages and activity sheets are included with the lesson plans as a separate file. MEMBERS FACEBOOK GROUP Please join our ​Once Upon A Ballet Studios and Teachers​ private Facebook group for discussion on lessons and more! SUGGESTED MUSIC + PLAYLISTS To help make lesson planning easier, we have included links to suggested music playlists. The Spotify playlist is free to use, but please note you will need to play it from a computer if you do not have a premium Spotify subscription. Without the premium Spotify subscription, you will be forced to use shuffle mode if using your phone or other mobile device.

Ask students to do various movements in a quick/sharp manner versus a slow/fluid manner to help illustrate the difference in energy: dynamics. Before performing the seasons activities, let students know that there are 4 season fairies who help Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother in the ballet. For the youngest age groups, ask if they can remember a change in season. Ask them if they know things that usually occur during the different seasons. Ask older students what their favorite thing is about each season. FLOORWORK: STRENGTHENING​ | ​Suggested Music: A Golden Childhood, Patrick Doyle, Cinderella (Original Motion Picture) Exercises for warming up the feet, turnout muscles, abs and backs should be done at the beginning of each class.

  • Cinderella's Metamorphoses: a Comparative Study of Two English Translations of Perrault's Tales
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 249–266 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.044.1461 MARTINE HENNARD DUTHEIL DE LA ROCHÈRE CINDERELLA’S METAMORPHOSES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TWO ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF PERRAULT’S TALES Abstract: This comparative analysis of two translations of Charles Perrault’s “Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle de verre” shows how the French conte was adapted for children in England at different moments and reflects different projects. Robert Samber’s “Cinderilla: or, The Little Glass Slipper,” published in Histories, or Tales of Past Times. With Morals (1729), is known as the first English translation of the tale. More recently, Angela Carter’s retranslation “Cinderella: or, The Little Glass Slipper,” published in The Fairy Tales of Charles Perrault (1977), pays homage to Samber but also modernises the tale to carry a more emancipatory message. While Samber’s translation reflects the working conditions of Grub Street writers and acculturation of Perrault’s fairy tale in Protestant England, Carter gives it a feminist twist as she turns it into a “fable of the politics of experience.” She would later rewrite it as “Ashputtle or The Mother’s Ghost” (1987), this time using Manheim’s English translation of the Grimms’ “Aschenputtel” as a starting point. Keywords: Charles Perrault, Cinderella, translation, Robert Samber, Angela Carter Ainsi une traduction n’est-elle qu’un moment d’un texte en mouvement. Elle est même l’image qu’il n’est jamais fini. Elle ne saurait l’immobiliser. 1 (Meschonnic 1999: 342) This comparative study of two translations of “Cendrillon ou La Petite Pantoufle de Verre,” from Charles Perrault’s famous collection, Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passé (1697), shows how the tale has been redirected 1 “Thus, a translation is an instant of a text in movement, even an image that it is never over.

  • Who Is Cinderella,...Or Cinderfella?
    1 Who is Cinderella, … or Cinderfella? Donna Rohanna Patterson Elementary School Overview Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activities Annotated Bibliography/Resources Appendices/Standards Overview Folk and fairy tale stories comprise most of the stories children hear from birth to 2nd grade. They are used not only to entertain, but often as teaching stories about the dangers and values of life. These very same stories are shared in many cultures around the world. Although they vary in characters, setting, and texture from one continent to the next, they remain some of the most powerful stories for teaching and learning during the early years. Folk and fairy tales have initiated children into the ways of the world probably from time immemorial. Many have changed over time to homogenize into the variety that we often see and hear today to meet a more generic audience, often leaving behind the tales geographic and social origins. By exposing students to a variety of multicultural renditions of a classic Fairy Tale they can begin to relate to these stories in new ways, leading to a richer literary experience. Fairy Tales written through ethnic eyes also give a great deal of cultural information, which can result in a richer experience for the students and students. We can then appreciate the origins and adaptations as they have migrated through time and space. These stories help to make sense of the world for young children. Folk and fairy tales were not meant only for entertainment, they provide a social identity, and instill values as well as teaching lessons. In my own experience I have found that classrooms are often filled with students that either come from other countries or have families that do.
