How to Go to a Ballet Performance
HOW TO 
Tags: Ballet Performance, Ballet, Seeing the Ballet, Attending the Ballet
I remember when I was a little girl my mother would take me to see The Nutcracker ballet every year. I still truely enjoy the ballet and here are some tips I have learned along the way.
| 1. | Hunt out a ballet you want to go see. The easiest way to do this is to use Google. Usually, typing "ballet <your area>" will bring up a good enough selection. However, if you know of any theatres in your area that often run ballet performances, this may well be a better starting point. |
| 2. | Pick a ballet you want to see. If you have taken the website route, you can usually read a short outline of the ballet on there. It should give you some idea of what it is all about. |
| 3. | Buy your tickets. Usually, you will have to buy your tickets way in advance so make sure you write down the time and date of the performance so you won't forget. |
| 4. | Pick a ballet outfit. The days of dressing up in an incredibly formal, stiff and proper fashion for ballet have long since passed. However, ballet performances are still a great chance to dress up nicely. The decision is yours. |
| 5. | Make sure you arrive at the theatre on time. It's rude to the dancers and to the rest of the audience to turn up late. Furthermore, some theatres may not let you in until the first intermission if you turn up after the ballet has begun. |
| 6. | If you are wearing a thick coat or carrying a large bag, consider checking it in at the cloak room. The cloak room is usually visible when you enter the theatre. |
| 7. | Just like you would do at the cinema, turn off your mobile phone! |
