I'm a Ballerina Now was created to inspire and help children realize their dreams of becoming a dancer.

It is a complete ballet class for young beginners

Lyrics are sung to beautiful music, which aids the child in remembering the dance exercises and performing them correctly. The young dancer's dream is visualized during each exercise when a real ballerina appears and performs the same steps that the child is working on.

This class is taught by Rosemary Boross, a renowned teacher on the art of training children in dance and the creator of other programs for children, such as A Fantasy Garden Ballet Class, The Land of Sweet Taps, Junior Jazz, Baby Ballet, and Tot Tap.

This program is also an excellent guide for parents looking for a dance school for their child. It shows the types of exercises that should be a part of every ballet class.
